How Virat Kohli Compares To Joe Root In Tests Between 2021 And 2023? Stat Reveals
England star batter Joe Root continued with his purple patch during the first Ashes Test against Australia at Edgbaston, bringing up his 30th Test century that powered England to a huge score in the first innings, continuing their 'Bazball' style of cricket which emphasises on win, a result at least and is powered by attacking and positive mindset. At the start of 2021, Root was at the bottom of the 'Fab Four', a quartet of modern-day batting greats comprising of him, Virat Kohli from India, Steve Smith from Australia and Kane Williamson from New Zealand in terms of centuries scored in Tests. Virat was at the top with 27, Smith next with 26, Williamson at third with 24 and Root at the bottom with 17.
