By IANS News August 27, 2021 • 18:07 PM View: 1632

England skipper Joe Root has equalled Denis Compton and Michael Vaughan as the English batsman to score most number of hundreds in a calendar year. Root's 121 on Thursday was his sixth century - fourth against India - this year, and third in the ongoing series.

"He was getting lot of 50s, 60s, but he was not getting hundreds. That is what he is doing now," said former India opener and captain Sunil Gavaskar on air on Thursday.
