Joe Root Goes Past India Legend Sunil Gavaskar In All-Time Test Runs List

Joe Root has been on a run-scoring spree in Test cricket in the past year. After his batting exploits in the opening Test at Lord's against New Zealand where he scored a century to take England to victory, Root joined an elite list of players to score 10,000 runs in the longest format of the game. He followed that up with yet another stunning knock to lead England's reply to New Zealand's mammoth first innings total of 553 in the second Test. Root's 176-run knock in the first innings also helped him go past India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar in the all-time Test runs list.
