England vs India: Root chasing two Indian legends in five-match series
The Daily Guardian
|June 17, 2025
As England prepare for their home Test match series against India, plenty of eyeballs will be on star batter Joe Root, for whom, scoring runs at a monstrous rate and converting them into record-breaking centuries has become a habit during the decade of the 2020s.
During this mouth-watering five-match series starting from June 20, Root will continue his pursuit of two Indian greats. While Root will be chasing legendary Sachin Tendulkar's all-time run tally of 15,921 runs, he will also be aiming to surpass Rahul Dravid to have the highest-ever batting average among all players to have featured in this highly competitive series.
Root's run tally stands at 13,006 runs in 153 Tests at an average of 50.80, with 36 centuries and 65 fifties and a best score of 262. He is England's top run-getter in Tests and overall fifth.
