In the fifth Test against India, England veteran batsman Joe Root played a valuable innings of 105 runs while batting. He beat up Indian bowlers fiercely during his innings. Team India was in a very good position in this match at one time, but Joe Root, along with Harry Brook, shared a valuable 195 -run partnership for the fourth wicket and brought their team to a strong position. Joe Root’s performance has always been very good against India and now he has become the second highest run batsman in the world in Test cricket. Former player Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement about his batting.
How do the roots score so many runs?
Talking on Sony Sports Network, Sunil Gavaskar said, this thinking separates a man from a boy. He is coming up very fast and has reached very close to Sachin Tendulkar. He has batted well continuously and his technology is also amazing. Apart from bad balls, he also plays the best shots on a good ball. Whether it is spinner or fast bowler, he has batted tremendously everywhere. In India too, where the ball is very turn, he has scored centuries. People say that they have not scored a single century in Australia but it does not make any sense. If he has scored more than one century in India, then it shows the player. His footwork is also very good.
