    Joe Root Surpasses Steve Smith For Most Test Hundreds Among Active Cricketers

    By IANS News July 11, 2025 • 18:06 PM View: 866
    Only Don Bradman: Joe Root added another golden chapter to his illustrious Test career on Friday at Lord’s, crafting his 37th Test hundred in style to become the most prolific active century-maker in the format during the third Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, here at the Lord's.

    The England star resumed Day 2 of the third Test against India on 99 not out and reached the milestone with a boundary off the very first delivery, slicing Jasprit Bumrah through gully for four. It was a fitting way to bring up a landmark hundred — his first of the ongoing Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy series.

    Root became the first player in the world to score 3,000 Test runs against India, a milestone achieved over 60 innings since his debut against them in 2012. He also equalled Steve Smith with 11 Test centuries against India, the joint-most by any batter.
