Joe Root
Joe Root is one of the candidates who can be the highest run-scorer in the five-Test series between India and England. The English skipper was the only batsman from his side to cross 50+ runs in the first innings and then followed it up a brilliant century in the second innings of the first Test match of the ongoing series against Indian and in the process, he also became the all-time highest run-scorer for his nation across the formats.

Joe Root has already notched up two double centuries at the start of this year in the longer format can be the main threat for Team India as his ability to bat for long time score runs with ease can take the game away from Virat Kohli-led side. The right-handed batsman currently has 8,887 runs in the 106 matches to go with 21 hundred and 50 half-centuries.
