Joe Root’s milestone of 9000 Test runs

Being one among the Fab 4’, a fans-created category that includes Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, and Kane Williamson in addition to English skipper, Joe Root is one of the greatest players to have ever worn the whites for England.

The swashbuckling batsman earlier this year registered scores of 228, 186, and 218 in successive Tests in Sri Lanka and India and during the process Root also become the third-highest run-scorer for England in Tests with just Graham Gooch and Sir Alastair Cook ahead of him.

However, in the upcoming Test-series against India, Joe Root can overtake Graham Gooch’s record of 8900 runs and can become the second leading run-scorer for his nation in the longest format of the game. England’s Test skipper currently has 8,714 runs in the 105 matches to go with 20 hundreds and 49 half-centuries.
