Joe Root Becomes England's Leading Test Run-Scorer with 12,473 Runs
Oct 9, 2024, 07:15 AM
Joe Root has become England's all-time leading run-scorer in Test cricket, surpassing Sir Alastair Cook's previous record of 12,472 runs with a total of 12,473 runs. Root achieved this milestone during the first Test against Pakistan, where he scored his 99th fifty-plus score and his 65th Test fifty. This achievement places Root among the top five run-scorers in Test cricket history, joining the ranks of cricket legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis, and Rahul Dravid. Root's remarkable form since 2021 has seen him accumulate over 4,629 runs in Test matches, further cementing his status as one of the greatest cricketers of all time.
