England captain Joe Root is one of the best players of spin. His recent form against Sri Lanka is proof of how settled Root is against spinners.
Joe Root made 426 runs in the two-test match series against Sri Lanka in January 2021. He struck a double ton - 228, and a 186 in two consecutive test matches. In a match where the rest of the English batting lineup was struggling to face a nine-test match-old Lasith Embuldeniya, Root was sweeping the spinners for fours.
