IND vs ENG / Root has a chance to create a record that no one else could; only 204 runs needed

IND vs ENG: Joe Root is in great form at the moment, and runs are pouring from his bat. His performance in the Test series against India has always been excellent, and recently in the third Test, he proved it once again by scoring a century. There are still two matches left in the current Test series, and Root has a golden opportunity to create a historic record in these matches. Looking at his current rhythm, this target does not seem impossible.

6000 run record in WTC

Joe Root is the highest run-scorer in the World Test Championship (WTC). He has so far scored 5796 runs in 67 WTC matches, in which his average and consistency have been unmatched. If Root adds 204 more runs in the remaining two Test matches against India, he will become the first batsman to complete 6000 runs in WTC. This will be a record that no batsman has been able to achieve so far. Given Root's technique and patience, this achievement is absolutely possible for him.

Century showed form in the third Test

Joe Root played a brilliant century of 104 runs in the third Test against India. In the second innings, when other England batsmen failed to score runs under pressure, Root still handled his team by playing an important innings of 40 runs. Once Root settles down at the crease, it becomes extremely difficult for the bowlers to dismiss him. This ability of his makes him one of the most dangerous batsmen in Test cricket.

13000 runs figure in Test cricket

Joe Root made his Test cricket debut for England in 2012. Since then, he has remained the backbone of England's batting. He has scored 13259 runs in 156 Test matches, including 37 centuries and 66 half-centuries. His average and consistency make him one of the legends of modern Test cricket. His batting record against India has also been excellent, and he always poses a challenge for the Indian bowlers.

Eyes on the historic record

Given Joe Root's current form and his experience, it would not be wrong to say that he is very close to touching the 6000 run mark in WTC. If he maintains his rhythm in the next two Tests, this record will be in his name. Root is an inspiration not only for England but for world cricket, and fans are eagerly waiting for this potential record of his.
