News India Live, Digital Desk: Former England captain and brilliant batsman Joe Root Looking at the form in which he is going these days, it seems that he does not come to bat but to tire the bowlers. Root has achieved another big feat in Test cricket. He now has the most number of times in test history 150 or more (150+ Scores) run scorers of the world 5th batsman Have become.
Root does not believe in short innings
Generally, scoring a century (100) in Test cricket is the biggest joy for batsmen. As soon as the century is completed, the concentration breaks and he is out. But the roots are made of different soil. As soon as they touch the 100 mark, their real innings starts. They try to convert their innings into a big score, which in cricket language is ‘Daddy Hundred’ It is said that he has become a master of.
How to reach top-5?
In the recent innings, Root once again showed what is called patience and hunger in Test cricket. He has scored more than 150 countless times in his career. With this latest innings, he has left behind many great cricket legends and has now cemented his place in the top 5 in the list of all-time greats.
Keeping an eye on Sachin’s record?
Seeing Root’s hunger, cricket pundits have now started discussing whether he will be able to come close to Sachin Tendulkar’s mountain-like record of ‘most Test runs’? Looking at the pace and fitness with which Root is playing and the amount of cricket he still has left, nothing seems impossible.
Why are roots special?
Root’s batting doesn’t have the aggression that you might see in T20, but his consistency makes him dangerous. The better they play spin, the better the fast bowlers. Their biggest strength is their mindset; they are not satisfied easily.
At present, Joe Root has also gone far ahead in the race of ‘Fab 4’ (Kohli, Smith, Williamson and Root). If this continues, then when he retires, he will probably leave as the greatest batsman of Test cricket.
