Joe Root makes history
Root made history by becoming the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket, going past legends like Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting. The only player ahead of him in the all-time Test run-scorers list is the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
“Just one more to go. The way his career has gone over the last five years, there’s absolutely no reason why not,” former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said when asked if Root can become the all-time No. 1 scorer in red-ball cricket.
“He’s not a big one for landmarks, but I think that’s a pretty cool one, second highest test runs is incredible. I’m sure he knew what the number was (that he needed) but he’s not a guy who wants to shout about it,” England vice-captain Ollie Pope said.
