Sachin Tendulkar: If we talk about the greatest cricketer, then Sachin Tendulkar's name will undoubtedly come first. This player born in India dedicated everything to this game. The result was that Tendulkar (Sachin Tendulkar) started being called the God of Cricket.

The great right-handed batsman from Maharashtra has innumerable records to his name. One such record is in danger. In fact, England's great batsman and one of my favorites, Joe Root, is going to break it soon. This is what former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumara Sangakkara believes. Let us know in detail what he has predicted about Root.

Joe Root will break this record of Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar-Joe Root

Joe Root is counted among the best batsmen of modern day cricket. The 33-year-old player has proved his mettle in all three formats. No one can even come close to his ability in home conditions. Recently, England played a three-match Test series against West Indies at home. In this series, Root wreaked havoc with his bat.

This right-handed batsman scored 291 runs at an average of 72.75. During this, he scored a century and an innings of 87 runs. Seeing his excellent form, Kumara Sangakkara was very impressed. The former legendary cricketer, who was doing commentary, said that he will break my record very soon. Not only this, he believes that Root will be able to score as many runs as Tendulkar.

“The way Joe Root is batting, Sachin Tendulkar's record of 15,921 runs and 200 Tests could be in danger.”

This amazing record was made recently

Joe Root has played 143 matches since making his Test debut against India in 2012. He has scored 12027 runs in these matches at an average of 50.11. Root has scored 32 centuries and 53 half-centuries.

By scoring his 32nd Test century in the recent Test series against West Indies, he surpassed Virat Kohli, Matthew Hayden and Shivnarine Chanderpaul in terms of scoring the most centuries. With the pace in which he is batting, the day is not far when this 33-year-old player will become the player who has played the most matches in Test cricket as well as the one who has scored the most runs.
