IND vs ENG: Fitness, Technique Helps Joe Root Get Back Among 'Big Four' Batsmen
Joe Root's 128 not out on the first day of the first Test against India - his third ton in three matches - pushed not just his Test average beyond 50, like Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, and Kane Williamson, but also reopened the debate of who is the best among the 'Big Four' batsmen in world cricket.
Root, 30, who hit 228 and 186 in the two Tests in Sri Lanka prior to Friday's knock, had an ordinary last year in which he scored just four half-centuries in 13 Test innings. At the moment his average is 50.16.
