'He's On Top Now': Nasser Hussain Ranks Root Above Cook, Gooch

By IANS News June 18, 2022 • 11:05 AM View: 1256

Former England captain Nasser Hussain has ranked charismatic cricketer Joe Root ahead of legends like Graham Gooch, Alastair Cook, David Gower and Kevin Pietersen, saying that the 31-year-old takes the game to "exceptional levels in difficult circumstances".

Root is just the second Englishman to have scored more than 10,000 Test runs after Cook. He has played a vital role in England taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-Test series against New Zealand currently underway.
