Root’s Phenomenal Run-making Will Be Tested By India And Australia, Says Ian Chappell
Sir Alastair Cook: Former Australia cricketer Ian Chappell believes premier England batter Joe Root’s phenomenal run-making will be challenged by India and Australia in the next 12 months.
Right-handed batter Root has 12716 runs in 148 Test matches, including hitting ten centuries in last 2.5 years, and has already surpassed Sir Alastair Cook to become England's leading run-getter in Tests.
"Root was born to make runs and posted a highly respectable 73 in his first Test innings, in India. He's a joy to watch, as he balances a solid technique with the desire to score at every opportunity. The glue to England's rapid scoring has been Root, who is prepared to compile big innings while some of his team-mates take the wrecking ball to the opposition attack.
