Joe Root is 'far ahead' in the list of 'Fab Four', feels Saba Karim
Joe Root, saying the charismatic cricketer could surpass Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar's record for most runs in Test history, closer home, former India selector Saba Karim has said that the former England skipper stands head and shoulders above in the 'Fab Four' list of modern-day batsman, including Virat Kohli, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson. Root, who handed over England's Test captaincy reins to all-rounder Ben Stokes to concentrate on his batting, scored a fine unbeaten century to guide the home team to a five-wicket win against the Williamson-led New Zealand at Lord's to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. In guiding England to a morale-boosting win, Root surpassed the 10,000-run milestone to become just the 14th cricketer to reach the mark.

Coach Rahul Dravid "Not Really Paying Attention" As India Stand On Cusp Of This Massive World Record
Indian cricket team's first T20I against South Africa on Thursday presents a massive opportunity for the side to set a new world record. India are currently tied with Afghanistan and Romania for the longest T20I winning streak of 12 matches. India's winning run started in the 2021 T20 World Cup where they beat Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia in successive matches. Then, under Rohit Sharma, India clinched three consecutive series against New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka - all with 3-0 margin. Now, if India can defeat South Africa in the first T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, it will be the side's 13th win on the trot - a new world record.

"Above Everyone...": Ex-BCCI Selector Says Joe Root is "Far Ahead" Of Virat Kohli, Steve Smith And Kane Williamson
Joe Root is the toast of the cricket world right now after becoming only the 14th batter to score over 10,000 runs in Tests. He became just the second England batter after Alastair Cook to score 10,000 Test runs during a match-winning hundred against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday. The 31-year-old Yorkshireman's typically composed 115 not out took England, who had been faltering at 69 for four, to a target of 277 and a five-wicket victory over the World Test champions with more than a day to spare.
