And have played against him a lot too. We have grown up together. To score so many runs you would think that he would have to be a little selfish as a player, but not so, he is completely dedicated to the team. Stokes further said- From my perspective when I saw how many centuries Joe Root has scored and how many matches we have won. Were we over or under the line because of his century, but when I look at him he is like a stick. The selflessness that he possesses is an incredible quality. He always puts the team first. The fact is that he has scored so many runs and there is plenty of time for someone else to break his record. He is an incredible player.
IND vs ENG: RP Singh gave a surprising statement regarding Joe Root’s wicket against Jasprit Bumrah.

Let us tell you, currently England is playing the third test against India in Rajkot. England’s brilliant batsman Joe Root failed to make a big score in the first innings of the third Test and was out after scoring 18 runs on the ball of Jasprit Bumrah. Joe Root was trying to play a reverse scoop on Jasprit Bumrah’s ball but the ball hit his bat and went to Yashasvi Jaiswal standing at second slip where he took a very good catch. India had scored 445 runs in its first innings after losing all the wickets, in response to which England was all out for 319 runs in its first innings. RP Singh, during a conversation on Colors Cineplex, said, ‘If the shot that Root played had been played by someone else in domestic cricket or at the club level, his career would have been completely over. They need to get it right first because you can’t play this way. I don’t know how the support staff will view this shot. I did not expect at all that such a brilliant player would play such shots and that too against Jasprit Bumrah. I was quite surprised to see this. Jasprit Bumrah has bowled very well against Joe Root in this series: RP Singh RP Singh further said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah has bowled very well against Joe Root in this series and he is constantly putting pressure on him. Joe Root will have to play comfortably against Jasprit Bumrah. Sometimes you are not able to hit big shots on a good ball, so there is pressure on you. Jasprit Bumrah already has this thought in his mind that he will take the wicket of Root. He has bowled very well against Root.
