Joe Root made 426 runs in the two-test match series against Sri Lanka in January 2021. He struck a double ton - 228, and a 186 in two consecutive test matches. In a match where the rest of the English batting lineup was struggling to face a nine-test match-old Lasith Embuldeniya, Root was sweeping the spinners for fours.

India will offer similar spin-friendly conditions in the upcoming four-match series against England. The first two matches will be played in Chennai, which traditionally suits spinners. 

Joe Root will be encountering a similar type of attack against India like he faced in Sri Lanka - a right-arm off-spinner and possibly a left-armer. 

Ravichandran Ashwin will be leading the spin bowling attack of India. The off-spinner is close to taking 400 test wickets in which he has got the wicket of Root three times.
