There are still many big records in cricket that are registered in the name of the great player Sachin Tendulkar and breaking them is not an easy task for any player. Meanwhile, in Test cricket, hopes are being expressed about the current England team player Joe Root that he can break Sachin's record of most centuries and runs in Tests. A few days ago, former England captain Michael Vaughan praised Root in his statement and said that if he breaks Sachin's record, it will be very good for Test cricket, to which former Indian player Sunil Gavaskar has given him a befitting reply in his own way.
After all, if Root breaks Sachin's record then how will Test cricket improve?
Sunil Gavaskar, while reacting to Michael Vaughan's statement in his column in Sports Star, wrote that recently, I heard someone saying that if Joe Root surpasses Sachin Tendulkar's record of scoring the most runs and centuries in Test cricket, it will be good for Test cricket. Someone, please tell me what is wrong with Test cricket right now, when Sachin Tendulkar holds this record and if an English player makes this record in his name, how will this make Test cricket better? Can someone please tell me how will this make it better?
Vaughan also stated BCCI
Michael Vaughan had said in his statement in an episode of the Club Prairie Fire podcast that Joe Root will become the highest run-scorer in Tests in the coming years. At the same time, BCCI will try its best to ensure that this record remains in the name of an Indian player. Vaughan's statement was definitely beyond everyone's understanding. Let us tell you that Sachin Tendulkar has scored 15921 runs in 200 matches in Test cricket, while Joe Root has scored 12402 runs so far in 146 Test matches. Root still has to score 3520 more runs to break Sachin's record.
