ENG Joe Root - Leading Test Run Scorer Countdown

[Fireworks11]

Joe Root is 113 runs away from leaping into 2nd spot for leading Test scorers in history. Remarkable achievement when he does accomplish this feat, should be in this India series.

The golden question is, will he overtake Sachin Tendulkar? I believe if he stays injury free, he will.

 

[Phenom]

He needs 2656 more runs. If he maintains his current average it’s gonna take him almost 26 more matches to break Sachin’s record. But then again English players are known to decline steeply at his age. I’d say its 60:40 he breaks the record.

 

[Fireworks11]

2, 3 and 4 spots are so tight on this list. Root about to leap to 2 soon.

 

[Augustus]

I think he does break the record. England play lots of Tests and Roots technique is solid, so I don't think he declines much.

 

[Patriot]

He can break it if he maintains his fitness like Anderson did

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

He will break Sachin's record InshaAllah. I would say at the end of the current WTC he will be very near to him.

 

[Fireworks11]

Joe Root moves third in Test run-scorers list today!

He’s gone past Dravid and Kallis.

Man these guys are too salty lol

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Tendulkar played 200 test matches. If Root plays 200 I am sure he will be near to 18,000 Test runs

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Indians will be preparing themselves to do Kaala Jaadu on Root to not overtake Teenda their fake God.

 

[Mohsin]

Some people thought Root was going to retire...

This crybaby was rightfully trolled and insulted by KP. Feels like Indian's own everything in the world.

11 away from beating tendu

11 runs? Are you sure?

Root with a clutch knock yet again. 39th Test Hundred

Him or Brook should have been there to see the match off. But laanat on the lower order.

 

[Fireworks11]

11 runs? Are you sure?

He means centuries, and he needs 12 more to level with Tendulkar’s 51 Test Hundreds.

 

[Fireworks11]

Him or Brook should have been there to see the match off. But laanat on the lower order.

Yeah but lower order crumbled under pressure, lack of experience showed.

 

[PPakistani]

I hope and i think he will eventually overcome Sachin's record because English players normally play way too many tests and their fitness levels are also very good.
But despite achieving that milestone, Sachin will always be a better batsman than him. The overall standard of bowling is piss poor nowadays compare to that of 90s and even 2000s.

 

[Munna]

Just scored his first century on Australian soil, his 40th overall

On 13,660+ runs now and still counting ... approx. 2250 runs away from teenda now

 

[Shoaibbtt]

He's still very youthful - i reckon he smashes past his record.
