Joe Root within striking distance of Sachin Tendulkar’s record, just 492 runs away from Test milestone

Veteran English batter Joe Rooter has taken over his peers touted as the ‘Fab Four’ -- Virat Kohli, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson. With his recent match-winning century against New Zealand, Root is now firmly in the list of all-time greats and could even go on to break Sachin Tendulkar's record for most runs in the format. Joe Root vs Fab Four: While Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson had an edge over Root in the past, the former English captain has been in sensational form over the past few years. Meanwhile, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith are on the second spot with 32 centuries each, and Virat Kohli follows closely behind with 30 Test tons.
