Joe Root, the former captain of the England cricket team and the current batsman of the team, can break the big record of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar in the IND vs ENG Test Match to be played from July 1. It is worth noting that this only Test match is the last and fifth match of the remaining five-match Test series in India’s tour of England last year. India is currently ahead of a 2-1 win in that series.
The history of Test cricket shows that there is a chance for Joe Root to score the most runs in this bilateral series (IND vs ENG Test Series, 2021-2022). If he does this, then the great batsman Sunil Gavaskar, who is called the Bhishma Pitamah of the cricket world, and the former captain of his own country, Cook (Alastair Cook) will go ahead.
Sachin Tendulkar’s record is in danger
Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the most runs in Test matches played between India and England. Sachin has scored 2535 runs in the batting of 53 innings played against England in his career (IND vs ENG Test Cricket Records). Now Joe Root has a golden opportunity to break this record.
England’s swashbuckling batsman Joe Root has scored 2353 runs in 43 innings against India so far. He is only 184 runs behind beating Sachin Tendulkar. The routes that are in form these days, it is believed that they can do this feat.
Sunil Gavaskar’s record is also in danger
Sunil Gavaskar and Alastair Cook are in the second and third positions in terms of highest run-scorers in the series between India and England in Test cricket. And Joe Root is currently at number four. In this case, he can go ahead of both Gavaskar and Cook. He needs to score 131 runs to break Gavaskar’s record and 79 runs to beat Alastair Cook.
Remind you once again that the Test match between India and England will be played from July 1. In this series (IND vs ENG Test Series, 2021-2022), India will either have to win this match or draw it to win.
