Joe Root Surpasses Sachin Tendulkar And Virat Kohli For Unique Feat In Test Cricket

England star batter Joe Root continues to rule the roost in Test cricket. He was impressive with the bat during the first Ashes Test against Australia at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The right-handed star batter brought up his 30th Test century that powered England to a huge score in the first innings and followed it up with a 46-run knock to help his side post a respectable total on the board. Such is the form of Root that even his dismissal on Monday saw him achieving a unique Test feat. During the process, he also surpassed the likes of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.
