Joe Root can become the biggest threat to India at Lord’s, figures are increasing Team India’s tension
Joe Root Record Against India At Lord’s: The decisive match of the three-match ODI series between India and England will be played on July 19 at Lord’s ground. The series is currently tied at 1-1 and in such a situation, the biggest challenge for Team India will be the experienced England batsman Joe Root. Considering the form Root is in in the current series and his record at Lord’s, the test for the Indian bowlers is not going to be easy.
Root has not been out in the series yet
Joe Root kept England’s hopes alive by playing an unbeaten inning of 76 runs in the first ODI. After this, in the second ODI played in Cardiff, he scored 99 not out runs in 133 balls and led the team to victory by four wickets and leveled the series at 1-1. The special thing is that Indian bowlers have not been successful in taking the wicket of Root so far in this series.
Joe Root’s record against India at Lord’s –
| format | matches/innings | total runs | highest score | batting average | century | half century |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ODI | 2 innings | 124 | 113 | 124.00 | 1 | 0 |
| Test | 5 matches / 9 innings | 650 | 180 | 72.22 | 3 | 2 |
| T20 International (T20I) | 1 innings | 9 | 9 | 9.00 | 0 | 0 |
The strongest link of the England team
Root’s biggest strength is not just scoring runs but controlling the innings in the middle overs. He constantly rotates the strike, due to which the opposition spinners and fast bowlers are never able to create pressure. England’s batting revolves around him and he is considered the strongest link of the team.
Name is registered in the list of highest run scorer
If we look at the Lord’s statistics, Joe Root’s record looks even more dangerous. He has scored 466 runs in 11 innings of ODI cricket on this ground. During this period, his average has been 46 and strike rate has been around 80. He also has one century and three half-centuries in his name at Lord’s. This is the reason why he is at sixth place in the list of batsmen who have scored the most ODI runs on this ground.

Who will win the title?
India had won the first ODI by six wickets, while in the second match it had to face defeat despite scoring 233 runs. Now the series is to be decided at Lord’s. If Team India has to win the trophy, then first of all it will have to put brakes on Joe Root’s excellent rhythm. England will also hope that their most reliable batsman once again plays a big innings and helps the team win the series.
