Delhi: The question often arises in the cricket world that who is the number one batsman of Test cricket at present. Former Indian team opener and cricket analyst Akash Chopra has given his opinion on this. He has praised the recent batting of England veteran Batter Joe Root.
Great performance in Manchester Test
Joe Root played a brilliant century of 150 runs in the Test match being played in Manchester. After this performance, Akash Chopra appreciated the route on his YouTube channel and said, “It is absolutely true that in the current era, there is no better Test batsman than the route.” According to Chopra, Joe Root has proved with his batting that he is the best Test cricketer of the modern era.
Will Sachin Tendulkar break the record?
A fan questioned Akash Chopra whether Joe Root would break the record of Sachin Tendulkar’s most Test run? It is worth noting that currently Root has 13,409 runs in Test cricket, while Sachin Tendulkar scored 15,921 runs. That is, the route is still about 2,512 runs behind.
In response to this question, Akash Chopra said, “Since February 2023, Joe Root has scored more than 2,500 runs. If this continues, it will take them two years to break the record. But, everything is not stable in cricket.”
Form and fitness important factor
Akash Chopra further said, “Nothing is permanent. The form is always the same. Sometimes they can be injured, sometimes the team’s circumstances change. In such a situation it is difficult to say whether the route will be able to break Sachin’s record so soon.”
