IND vs ENG: A five-match Test series is currently being played between India and England. Four matches of the series have been played so far and host team India is leading 3-1. So now the last and 5th match of the series will be played between the two teams from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.

Also, this match is going to be very special for the English team’s wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow. If Bairstow is successful in playing this match, then it is going to be the 100th match of his Test career. Bairstow would like to make this match memorable. However, before the start of this match, former England team captain Joe Root has given a big statement about Bairstow.

Joe Root gave a big statement regarding Bairstow

Let us tell you that Joe Root said on Sky Sports Cricket Podcast about Bairstow – I think he likes to keep his emotions on his sleeve. I think that’s just who he is.

He brings out his performance when it is needed most. The best example of this was when he joined the Yorkshire team at the end of the season, scoring a double century on his return in this season.

I met him once at a President’s meeting, Sir Geoffrey Boycott was in that meeting. I remember at that time he told Bairstow that you are playing well in the other team. Keep working hard, keep doing some things right. After this it will not take much time for you to get into the first team.

Well, it is worth watching how Jonny Bairstow is going to perform in his 100 international test matches? However, from the statement given by Root regarding Bairstow, you can guess that he is very optimistic about him. It is noteworthy that in the four test matches of this series, Johnny has been able to score only 170 runs with the bat at an average of 21.25.
