Numbers Say Joe Root Best, But Ex-India Star Picks This Player To 'Bat For His Life'

Still just 33, Root already has 34 Test centuries to his name, in addition to 12,377 runs in the longest format. Root, who is part of Test cricket's current 'Fab 4', is ahead of his contemporaries -- Steve Smith, Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli.

Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva and the in-form Kamindu Mendis frustrated England with a unbroken century partnership on the second day of the third Test at the Oval on Saturday.

Not Brendon McCullum Or Ben Stokes, England Great Points Out Star At The 'Heart' Of Bazball

Former England captain Nasser Hussain said Ben Duckett's astonishing knock of 86 on day one of the third Test against Sri Lanka was yet another example of why the left-handed opener is at the heart of the side's risk-taking attitude while batting.

It was almost like they'd never bowled to a left-hand, right-hand combination before, but Duckett never let them settle at all.”
