Joe Root Closing in on Sachin Tendulkar’s Test Runs Record: Can He Achieve the Milestone?

England’s batting sensation, Joe Root, is in scintillating form and closing in on a historic achievement. With his recent century against Sri Lanka, Root has amassed 12,274 test runs, placing him within striking distance of Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record of 15,921 runs. At 33 years old, Root is projected to play for another 4-5 years, providing him ample opportunity to surpass Tendulkar’s mark. While Root might break the run record, he’s still 17 centuries behind Tendulkar’s record of 51 centuries. However, with his current form, Root’s pursuit of Tendulkar’s record has captivated fans and experts alike, raising the anticipation of a potential milestone in the world of cricket.
