While the series ended for Stuart Broad on a high note, the start was anything but for the 34-year-old. The fast bowler was dropped from the first game of the series but later made an impressive comeback as he played a starring role. While congratulating Stuart Broad, Sachin Tendulkar also made a reference to the tweet he had first made when Stuart Broad was picked for the second match.

Sachin Tendulkar had correctly predicted Broad’s impressive performances, as the player had tweeted that it looked like Stuart broad had a spring in his step and looked like a man on a mission during the second test. The fast bowler’s performances after Tendulkar’s tweet certainly proved so, as Stuart Broad picked three wickets in a 14 ball spell to announce his comeback into the side.

During the third Test, Stuart Broad’s performances further drove home the point that Sachin Tendulkar had foreseen the player’s performances, as the pacer went onto pick 10 wickets in the match. After Sachin Tendulkar’s prediction about Stuart Broad proved to be correct, several fans picked up on the connection. Fans suggested that no one reads better the game than the Master Blaster, as his premonitions about Stuart Broad were proven right.

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting tweeted as well. However, Ricky Ponting was later criticised by fans as many perceived his tweet to be sarcastic. Even former cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who hit Stuart broad for six sixes during the 2007 T20 World Cup, congratulated the player on the achievement, calling him a legend.
