Joe Root has also escalated up the ranks as the English Test captain. Back in 2014, MS Dhoni was the Indian captain and Alastair Cook was leading England. Joe Root is one of the best batsmen currently around the world and has got a great technique and is highly talented. Root has got a great temperament and was one of the most successful players across the formats in the series against India back in 2014.

He was the leading run scorer in Tests in 2014 in that tour where he scored 518 runs in 7 innings. He was equally good in ODIs and was the second highest scorer with 163 runs in 4 games. Just like Virat, Joe also notched his game up several levels since 2014 and will be the key for England this time as well. His captaincy prowess will come to a test in this stern series against India.
