During a match-winning century against New Zealand at Lord’s on Sunday, Joe Root became only the second England batter to reach 10,000 Test runs.
With more than a day to spare, the 31-year-controlled old’s 115 not out guided England, who had been struggling at 69 for four, to a goal of 277 and a five-wicket triumph against the reigning World Test Championship winners. Joe He is sometimes referred to as one of modern cricket’s “Big Four” batsmen, alongside Australia’s Steve Smith. India’s Virat Kohli, and New Zealand’s current captain, Kane Williamson.
In 2017, joe Root took over as captain from Alastair Cook, the only other England batter to reach 10,000 Test runs. Joe Root went on to captain England in more Tests (64) and win more matches (27) than any other skipper before him. Ben Stokes has taken over as captain from Joe Root. Michael Vaughan, the former England captain, now believes. Root is capable of breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of 15921 Test runs.
Vaughan said about Joe Root that
“For me, he stands alongside Graham Gooch as England’s greatest batters. The way he is going, he might overtake Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most Test runs”. Vaughan said in a column for ‘The Telegraph’ headed “Joe Root is England’s finest ever – now Sachin Tendulkar should look out.”
He’s still 6,000 short of Sachin’s total. but he’s only 31 years old, and if James Anderson can play until he’s 40, I believe Joe can as well. That’s how much he enjoys batting. He is a hard worker. He’s a cricket badger, to be precise. To wake up every morning and think about batting, you have to have it in you.”
joe Root’s current Test batting average is well under 50, which is the record of an all-time great, with only the retired Cook’s 33 hundred at this level surpassing his 26.
And Sunday’s innings suggest that there will be plenty more runs to come with Joe Root. Now free of what he described as a “very unpleasant relationship” with England captain Joe Root.
“It got to the point where someone else needed to lead it,” he said. “but I can attempt to affect it (England’s outcomes) in a different manner, in a different way.”
