Joe Root, England’s Test captain and one of the best batsmen in the world, has achieved another remarkable feat in his career by becoming the leading run scorer for England in the ICC Cricket World Cup. He surpassed Graham Gooch’s record of 897 runs during England’s match against Bangladesh in the 2023 World Cup. Now he has 917 runs in just 19 matches.
He has been England’s most consistent batsman, and his contributions have been instrumental in the team’s success. Root is a champion player in every sense of the word. He is a world-class batsman, a brilliant fielder, and an inspiring leader. He is also a role model for young players all over the world.
