Joe Root "Could Surpass Sachin Tendulkar's Record": Ex-England Captain Makes Big Claim

Joe Root became just the second England batter to score 10,000 Test runs during a match-winning hundred against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday. The 31-year-old'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 reigning World Test Championship winners with more than a day to spare. Root is often considered among modern cricket's "Big Four" batters together with Australia's Steve Smith, India's Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson, the current captain of New Zealand.

With this win, England have a 1-0 lead in the series. "Feels fantastic, winning a Test match after a long time is a great experience. I have really enjoyed it and looking forward to the rest of the summer. I always feel that we get great support and appreciate whether home or away and it is nice to see them (crowd). Ben has won many Tests for us when I was captain, it's a great chance for me to give it back to him."
