England star Joe Root, in a conversation with Harsha Bhogle for Sony Sports, thought about his admiration for Sachin Tresulkar, a light moment during his first tour in India, and his current place among the big crickets. An old Root’s Tweet from 2013 recently surfaced, where he wrote, “Sachin made his debut for India before my birth. Then I played when I started in the test. #Thankyousachin. “ Speaking now, Root shared: “Sachin is one of the grown -ups. What he achieved with the pressure he was was just phenomenal.

He also recalled a moment of the tour in India in 2012 which left him amazed. “Pujara had marked a double a hundred in the first test. In the next one, he went out early and the whole crowd started to applaud. I did not understand it first, then I realized that it was because Sachin came to beat. It was weird but showed how loved and legendary.”
Root recently went to the second row on the list of test hikers of all time, exceeding Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting during his superb 150 in Manchester against India. Now on 13,409 points, there are 2,512 behind the total tendulkar record of 15,921.

Do you believe that Joe Root can exceed the Sachin Tendulkar record?
Describing the moment, Root said: “It’s a moment of pinching. Growing up, I used to pretend to be Ricky Ponting, Kumar Sangakkara or Brian Lara in my garden or my local club. Just to see my name next to theirs is pretty cool. ” Asked about the possibility of hunting tendulkar, he played it. “This is not something that I will focus on. These things should take care of themselves. The goal must be to win matches.” Root recognized the noise around his milestones but added: “The figures are everywhere, right?” But you are trying not to get caught up. You don’t do your job if you only think of yourself.
