Joe Root IPL

It is a big surprise that a player of the potential of Joe Root is yet to play the IPL. He has stated that he would love to play an IPL season in the future but due to his commitments in Test cricket, he hasn’t been able to do so. Among the ‘Big Four’ of international cricket, Root is the only one who is yet to play an IPL season.

Joe Root made his international debut against India at Nagpur. His impeccable resilience and compact batting helped England draw the Test match and claim a historic overseas win. Root scored 73 in the first innings and played India’s spinners excellently. His foot work and ability to play the ball late made him England’s best player of spin. This is the reason he has been scoring runs consistently on turning subcontinent pitches.

Root replaced Alastair Cook as England’s full time Test captain in 2017. In his first Test as captain against South Africa at Lord’s he scored a brilliant 190. Not only in Test cricket, Root has been an integral part of England’s ODI set-up. He played a huge role in England’s title winning World Cup 2019 campaign and was England’s highest run-scorer. By the time he retires, Root can easily become one of the finest batters produced by England in all formats.
