Cook Believes Root Can Get 'very Close' To Tendulkar's Record Test Runs

By IANS News October 22, 2024 • 14:02 PM View: 270

New Delhi: Former England captain Alastair Cook believes in-form compatriot Joe Root can get 'very close' to Sachin Tendulkar's record 15,921 Test runs in the coming years.

Recently, Root surpassed Cook to become the leading run-getter and century-maker for England in the first Test between England and Pakistan in Multan earlier this month. With 12,716 runs, Root is the fifth-highest run-scorer in Test cricket.
