The Englishman has been his team’s premier batsman for many years now. Joe Root has already played 100 Test matches which is a big milestone in his career. Root was also given the Test side’s captaincy in 2017 when Sir Alastair Cook stepped down from the role.

Since then, Root has done a decent job as captain and has improved more in recent times. He has led England to five consecutive overseas Test wins when his side beat Sri Lanka 3-0 in 2018 and 2-0 in 2021. The 2021 Sri Lankan tour was very special where he achieved this great record. Root scored 228 in the first Test at Galle and missed out on another double century in the next match by a narrow margin as he got out on 186. After that tour, England visited India for a 4-match Test series where he reached yet another double ton, scoring a wonderful 218 at Chennai.

These innings made him the first-ever Test captain to score three 150+ scores in three consecutive Test matches. This record is a unique one and it requires immense concentration and grit to play such long innings as captain continuously. So, it looks that the record will stand for a long time.
