In Test cricket, the power of Joe Root remains intact. This batsman of England has become the king of the red ball in the current era. Is Virat, what is Steve Smith and what is Kane Williamson? If it is a matter of Test cricket, only those routes are seen at number 1 in Fab 4. Joe Root scored a brilliant century in the Lord’s Test to give England a five-wicket win over New Zealand.
During this, Joe Root also completed his 10,000 test runs. After this exploit of Root, now the record of Sachin Tendulkar is under threat. Sachin Tendulkar has 15921 Test runs in his name, and now it is being said that Joe Root can break this record. This is the belief of former Australian captain Mark Taylor. According to whom Root’s form, fitness and age are standing with him and if this continues, he will overtake Sachin.
Which route will break Sachin’s World Record?
Talking to Sky Sports, Mark Taylor said, ‘Root has been batting very well for the last 18 months, and he is in the best form of his career. If he remains fit, 15,000 Test runs are not a big deal. Let us tell you that Joe Root is just 31 years old. There are at least 5-6 years of cricket left in him. They can break this record in such a situation.
When Alastair Cook had completed 10,000 Test runs, he was also considered a threat to Sachin’s record, but this England opener could score 12472 runs. He is at number five in achieving the most runs in Test cricket. Breaking Sachin’s record for Joe Root is still a distant thing, but there is no doubt that if everything goes right, Joe Root will become the batsman to score the most Test runs for England.
