Joe Root Set to Create History Against India, Challenging 4 Major Records
In the ENG vs IND clash, Joe Root is on the verge of making history by breaking or surpassing four significant records. With his remarkable form, these achievements could solidify his legacy in the cricketing world, making it tough for India to prevent him from rewriting history.
Right-handed Joe Root is England's most reliable batsman. He is the host team's number 1 batsman against India as well as their biggest weapon. During the 5-match series, he can set a flurry of records. It is almost certain that Sachin's 3 records will be broken.
Joe Root...means England team's biggest weapon...Everyone's eyes will be on this legend in the 5-match Test series against India, but Root's eyes will be on those records of the God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, which are very special. In the 5-match Test series against India, Root has a golden opportunity to break not one or two but 3 big records of Sachin Tendulkar. If Root's bat works, then it will be difficult for these records to be saved.
First record
In the Test matches played between India and England, Sachin Tendulkar has scored more than 50 runs against England 28 times. Now this record is in danger. Root is 5 steps away from it. If Joe Root scores 50+ runs five times in this big series of 5 test matches, then he will surpass Sachin and create history.
Second record
The most fifties in test matches between India and England are currently in the name of legendary opener Sunil Gavaskar, who scored 16 half-centuries. Sachin is second in this list with 13 fifties. Root will have to score 3 half-centuries to leave Sachin behind. He currently has 11 half-centuries to his name. Root can easily break this record in the 5 test match series.
Third record
Virat Kohli currently has the most runs of 4036 in international matches between India and England, followed by Sachin Tendulkar, who has scored 3990 runs. Root will overtake him as soon as he scores 133 runs, because Root has scored 3858 runs against India so far. This record will be broken in this series.
