According to Media Sources, England’s stalwart batter, Joe Root, reclaimed the number one spot in the latest ICC Test batters rankings. New Zealand’s Test icon Kane Williamson’s stay at the top of the Test batter rankings ended. Root will begin his ninth stint at the top of the ICC Test batter rankings following his commendable performances in the three-match red-ball series against the West Indies. The 33-year-old garnered 291 runs in three matches and gave trouble to the Caribbean side. His influential 87-run knock in the third and final Test in Birmingham allowed him to leapfrog over Williamson at the top of the ICC Test batter rankings.
As Per Media Sources, Root achieved a major landmark during the series as he moved past West Indies icon Brian Lara’s 11,953 runs in the list of all-time highest run scorers in the format. Root is now the seventh-highest run-scorer in Test cricket. With 12,207 runs under his belt, Root has the most runs among active Test cricketers. Australia’s Steven Smith (9,685) and Virat Kohli (8,848) are behind him by a considerable margin. The first time Root became the number one Test batter was in 2015 and the last time he held the ranking was in June 2023. Root’s latest surge saw Williamson move to second, Pakistan’s white-ball captain Babar Azam level with Daryl Mitchell on third and Smith on the fifth spot, followed by India skipper Rohit Sharma on sixth. England Test captain Ben Stokes was also rewarded for his batting performances as he moved four places up to 30th.
