In terms of Test cricket, Joe Root has been outstanding over the past few years. He recently achieved the greatest number of hundreds by a cricket player in the contemporary era—34—after hitting a twin century at Lord’s. To put it mildly, the former England captain has played in 49 Test matches since 2021, during which time he has amassed 4567 runs at an average of 56.38 and struck 17 hundreds.
Joe Root, Virat Kohli, Steven Smith, and New Zealand great Kane Williamson are considered the “fab four,” and Williamson revealed that he is a huge fan of the England cricketer. He discussed Root’s remarkable performance in red-ball cricket as well as his consistency in the game’s longest format.
Joe Root was brought up. He’s been someone else for a while now.
Much focus has been placed on what he might be able to accomplish in the next years, and it’s astonishing that he can even reach that conversion. He has performed admirably. I’ve always been a huge fan of his. And not only him, but Steven Smith and Virat Kohli as well. Impressive how they have advanced the game much, Williamson told reporters at Root in Greater Noida.
Kane Williamson commences his subcontinental trip.
Before facing India in a three-match series, New Zealand will play a single Test match in Noida against Afghanistan. In addition to addressing the difficulties they would encounter in the subcontinent, Williamson said that the match against Afghanistan provides a good opportunity to get ready for the match against India.
“It’s true that we will face some challenges. That being said, we have a block here where we can work as a team to look at the kinds of experiences we will have over the next two and a half months and get better as a result.
