Sachin Tendulkar Record: Will Joe Root break Sachin’s great record? The English legend gave a statement

The biggest record in the history of Test cricket, which was once considered ‘impossible’, seems to be in danger today. There is only one discussion going on in the circles of cricket these days: Will England’s run-machine Joe Root be able to break the world record of the great Sachin Tendulkar for most Test runs? Whenever Joe Root steps on the crease, fans and cricket pundits sit with calculators. When Sachin Tendulkar retired from Test cricket, he had 15,921 runs in his name. At that time no one had even dreamed that any batsman of the modern era would reach anywhere near this figure, especially after the advent of T20 cricket. But the way Joe Root has scored runs in the last 5-6 years, he has brought the impossible closer to the possible. The distance between Sachin and Root has become very small. Talking about statistics, Joe Root is now not far away from the record of ‘Master Blaster’. Now the gap between the two giants is only 1,978 runs. Root is currently firmly at the second position in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs in the world with 13,943 Test runs. Cricket pundits believe that in the tremendous form in which Root is playing at the moment, if he remains safe from any major injury for the next two years, then this historic record of Sachin Tendulkar can get buried in the pages of history. Joe Root broke his silence on the question of world record. Joe Root has finally broken his silence on this question that is constantly being asked by the media and fans. Root spoke openly in an interview given to a renowned sports magazine ‘The Athletic’. He smiled and said that I have been asked this question so many times that I can no longer ignore it even if I want to. On the discussions of equaling or breaking Sachin’s record, a different respect can be seen on Root’s face. ‘He made his debut before I was born’ Root expressed respect While reading the ballad in praise of Sachin Tendulkar, Joe Root said that whatever Sachin has achieved in this game is incredible. You have to believe me that it is a great honor for me just to be associated with his name. Reminiscing an interesting incident, Root said that the great player had made his Test debut before I was born, and when I made my Test debut, he was still playing on the field! Playing cricket at the top level for so long and then scoring so many runs in Tests is a miracle in itself. Not only this, he also has 49 centuries in his name in ODI. The real aim is to improve batting, not records. Despite being very close to cricket’s biggest and most prestigious milestone, Joe Root’s feet are on the ground. He made it clear that his focus is not on playing numbers or breaking anyone’s record. Root’s entire focus is on improving his batting day by day. Explaining his batting philosophy, this former England captain said that I always try to evolve myself and add new things to my batting. My only aim is to feel so technically strong that when I come out on the field, I don’t have to worry about technique. After going to the crease, I just focus on the circumstances and the strategy of the match. It may sound very simple, but when I’m on the court, my only goal is to enjoy the game.
