Joe Root is one of England’s premier batters and a modern-day great, known for his classical technique, composure, and prolific scoring in Test cricket. Wearing jersey number 66, he made his international debut in 2012 and quickly cemented his place with elegant stroke play and consistent run-making. Root has captained England in Tests, leading them to memorable series victories, including a 3-1 triumph in South Africa and a home Ashes draw in 2019. With over 11,000 Test runs, he’s among the highest scorers in England’s history. While primarily a red-ball specialist, Root has also contributed in white-ball formats, offering stability in the middle order and occasional off-spin. He’s played crucial roles in global tournaments and was part of England’s 2019 World Cup-winning squad. Renowned for his humility and leadership, Root is admired both on and off the field. Whether anchoring an innings or guiding younger players, he remains a pillar of English cricket. As he continues his career, Root is expected to further his legacy as one of the greatest English batters of all time.
