Joe Root Becomes England's Leading Test Run Scorer

News summary

Joe Root has become England's leading Test run scorer, surpassing Sir Alastair Cook's record during the first Test against Pakistan in Multan, where he scored a century. Root's achievement positions him fifth overall among Test run-scorers, trailing behind legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting. Former England captain Michael Vaughan praised Root's consistency and technique, noting that he is the only active player struggling against Jasprit Bumrah, who has dismissed him frequently. Vaughan expressed confidence that Root could eventually surpass Tendulkar's record if he maintains his form.

As Root's accolades continue to grow, discussions about his place among the greatest English cricketers intensify.
