England batsman Joe Root has put a record of records at the historic Lord’s ground. He was unbeaten on 99 runs by the end of the first day of the third Test match against India. If he manages to complete a century on Friday, he will beat his contemporary Steve Smith and India veteran Rahul Dravid from the top 5 in terms of most Test centuries.
Joe Root has set a new record of scoring the most runs by mixing all the formats on Lord’s Cricket Ground. He has scored 2526 runs in 33 matches so far on a historic ground. In this way, he has surpassed Graham Gooch’s record of the last 2513 runs.
Former England captain Root has become the only batsman to score 3000 runs in Tests against India, creating another history. He has so far scored 3054 runs in 33 Tests against India, including 10 centuries. Along with this, he has joined the club of Gary Sobers and Sachin Tendulkar in terms of scoring more than 3000 runs in non-essence test rivalry.
In Lord’s Test, the route is standing at one end and he will score a 37th Test century as soon as he scored 1 run. Along with this, he will beat Steve Smith and Rahul Dravid in the case of the most Test centuries and reach fifth.
This is the 103rd 50+ score in the root test. Of these, 36 times he has managed to convert his innings a century and has scored 67 times. In terms of creating a fifty class the most in the Test, he is now behind only Sachin Tendulkar who has played 119 such innings. Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting have also scored FIFTI Plus in the same 103 times Test.
On the second day on Friday, if the route manages to take the first run, then he will have 55 centuries in international cricket and he will match Hashim Amla.
