There is now only a difference of 3544 runs between him and Sachin Tendulkar (15,921) who is at number one in the list. Looking at the way Root has been batting for some time now, it can be said that in the coming three to four years he can come close to this record of Sachin Tendulkar and if he continues to play like this, then he can break this record of Sachin Tendulkar in terms of making runs. Joe Root gave a big statement on breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record Meanwhile, when Root was asked if he has his eyes on Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of most Test runs, he replied that he just wants to play and contribute as much as possible to the team’s victory. In a video posted on social media by England Cricket, Joe Root is seen saying, “I just want to play and try and contribute to the team and score as many runs as I can and see where we reach.” He further said, “But there is no better feeling than this, I mean, it is obviously amazing when you know you have scored a century and you are lying if you say it is not a big deal. But there is no better feeling than winning a Test match. So the more it can impact games and the more you can contribute to the team, the better it is. So that will be the main focus. And hopefully more days like this will come with that mindset.” 1️⃣ Sachin Tendulkar – 15921 runs⬆️ Joe Root – 12377 runs Half an eye on Sachin’s record, Joe? — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 31, 2024
