England’s batting icon Joe Root creates history as he becomes the first player to score 1,000 Test runs at Old Trafford in Manchester, making this one for the record books. This milestone happened during the fourth Test against India, where he also scored his 38th Test century, just like Kumar Sangakkara’s record.
During this career-defining sprint, Root surpassed cricket legends like Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, and Jacques Kallis and became the second-highest run-scorer in the history of Test cricket, trailing behind the great Sachin Tendulkar!
Root’s all-round performance came from his impeccable form and consistency on his home ground, which continues to elevate his stature as a master batsman.
