Desk. England’s legendary batsman Joe Root has been performing brilliantly in Test cricket for the last 4-5 years. Root had performed brilliantly in the Test series against India last year, yet in whatever Test series he got a chance to play, he scored a lot of runs with his bat. In such a situation, fans and many cricket experts believe that in the coming days, Root will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of scoring most runs in Test cricket.
There is a difference of only 1978 runs between Sachin Tendulkar and Joe Root. Root has currently scored 13943 runs in 163 matches in Test cricket. Along with this, he is second in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs in Test cricket. Looking at the kind of form Root is in at the moment, it seems that he can break this record of Sachin Tendulkar in the next two years. Recently, Joe Root was also asked a question regarding this. Let us tell you what the legendary England batsman said in response to this.
In the interview, Joe Root said that this question has been asked to me so many times that I cannot ignore it even if I want to. He further said that what Sachin Tendulkar achieved in sports is amazing. When I say that just engaging in conversation with them is enough for me, you have to believe me that it really is. He made his Test debut before I was born and played in my Test debut. His playing for a long time is amazing in itself and then you see the runs he scored in Test cricket, see his centuries, it is amazing in itself.
Root said that everyone is thinking that my focus at this time is on Sachin’s record. But more than any record, I always focus on improving my game. Root said that I always try to evolve, try to add something new to my batting. I try to make it feel as compact and technically sound as possible so that when real games happen, I can bring it into my game and play what’s in front of me and not worry about anything else. It sounds very simple but when I am at the crease, I just want to play the game.
