According to Media Sources, England veteran batter Joe Root surpassed legendary Alastair Cook to register the most centuries by an English batter in the longest format. Root reached this new height in Test cricket during the second Test against Sri Lanka at the iconic Lord’s Stadium. Root scored 103 runs in just 121 balls, with 10 boundaries. His runs came at a strike rate of 85.12. With his 34th Test century, Root has now surpassed Cook’s tally of 33 centuries and is now the most successful England batter in terms of centuries.
As Per Media Sources, This is also Root’s 50th international century, making him the ninth player to do so. Indian icon Sachin Tendulkar has scored 100 international tons, the most by any player. Root joins the elite company of legends like Virat Kohli (80), Ricky Ponting (71), Kumar Sangakkara (63), Jacques Kallis (62), Hashim Amla (55), Mahela Jayawardene (54) and Brian Lara (53). Among the currently active players, Root is only the second player besides Virat to have 50 international centuries. At number three is Indian skipper Rohit Sharma (48).
