Joe Root Becomes First England Player To Score 19,000 International Runs

Experienced batter Joe Root became England's most successful batter after he became the first batter from his nation to go past the 19,000-run mark following his unbeaten ton against India on Day 1 of the fourth Test. Root tapped into his prime form to pull England back into the game after debutant pacer Akash Deep provided India with a dream start.

With an exquisite drive, he found the boundary line to raise his bat for his 31st Test ton.

Ian Chappell Urges Joe Root To Play His Natural Game And Drop Bazball Philosophy

Former Australia captain Ian Chappell has urged out-of-form England batter Joe Root to shun the 'Bazball' approach and get back to playing his natural game. Senior batter Root has struggled for runs in the ongoing five-match series against India, registering a set of low scores across six innings. Keeping up with England's aggressive Bazball approach, Root has mostly lost his wicket playing outlandish shots in India. "Root had a bloody fine record playing normally, and he was a quick scorer playing normally," Chappell told 'Wide World of Sports', describing Bazball as "bullshit".
