4th Test: It Is A Bit Of A Pinch Yourself Moment, Says Root On Being Second-highest Run-scorer In Tests
Joe Root: After becoming the second-highest run-scorer in Tests, premier England batter Joe Root called it a ‘pinch-yourself moment’ to be mentioned in the same sentence alongside many great batters.
On day three’s play of the fourth Test against India, Root went past Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting while scoring 150 - his 38th Test century – at Old Trafford. Root is now only behind the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in the all-time run-scorers in Tests.
"It is pretty cool. When you look at the names there on that list, all people as a kid growing up, that's who I would try and be in the garden, in the street, on the driveway. At my local club, we would play mini Test matches, me and my brother, anyone else that was knocking around the local club.”
