Sachin Tendulkar is considered one of the greatest batsmen of Test cricket, known as the 'God of Cricket'. He holds the record for scoring most runs in Test cricket. He played 200 Test matches for India and scored 15,921 runs, with an average of 53.78 and also scored 51 centuries. Over the years, Sachin has made his mark as the highest run-scorer, and no one has been able to come close to him.
Will Joe Root be able to break Sachin Tendulkar's record?
Joe Root is the leading Test batsman of England and his age is 35 years. He can play Test cricket for the next 4-5 years, which may make it possible for him to break Sachin Tendulkar's record. Root has so far scored 14,151 runs in 167 Test matches at an average of 50.72, and is only 1,770 runs behind Sachin. Root has scored 1,556 Test runs in 2024 and 805 Test runs in 2025, which shows that he is capable of scoring runs every year. If this trend continues, it will take only a year or two for him to overtake Sachin. The illustrious record of the Indian cricket legend now seems to be in danger, and it seems that Test cricket fans may get to see a new 'God'.
