Nasser Hussain Has An Advice For England After 'Perfect Performance' Against India

Joe Root's men came out with a "perfect performance" against India in the first Test, which they won by 227 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, says former England captain Nasser Hussain. Hussain,

"England are going to have to expect India to come back at them," said Hussain.

"India lost the first Test in Australia, when they were bowled out for 36, but came back and won the series, while England might also lose the toss in the second Test and it will be harder. But they have done everything they can do so far," he added.

The 52-year-old further praised Root, who scored a brilliant 218 in the first innings and then followed it up with a quick-fire 40 in the first Test. Root, 30, has played 100 Tests scoring 8,507 runs with the help of 20 hundreds and 49 half-centuries and is third on the list of leading run-scorers for England.

"Root sure is one of England's greats. He will probably end up breaking all records, he will probably go past Sir Alastair Cook's 161 Test matches and probably tally of runs as well," said Hussain.

"He is in great nick, only 30 years old, and if you did a list of all-time England batting greats - the ones I have seen anyway - you'd have to have Root with Cook, Graham Gooch and Kevin Pietersen," he added.
