Joe Root has achieved something rare for a batter. His latest innings puts him alongside one of cricket’s all-time greats.
Root came in under pressure but left fans talking about new records. He proved once again why he’s one of today’s top players.
England’s stand-in captain in the 2nd Test against New Zealand became only the second batsman, after the great Sachin Tendulkar, to reach 14,000 Test runs.
Sachin still holds the record for most Test runs with 15,921. Root is catching up, but there’s still a gap between the two legends.
Joe Root needs about 1,850 more runs to become the highest run-scorer in Test cricket.
Root is still scoring big runs and is one of England’s most dependable batters. If he stays in form and fit, he could challenge Sachin’s record.
Root has reached the milestone, but the biggest record is still ahead. Can he overtake Sachin Tendulkar to become Test cricket’s top run-scorer?
