England’s top Test batter, Joe Root, is on the verge of creating history. He has been in fantastic form and is just a few runs away from overtaking some of the biggest names in cricket, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting, in the list of most Test runs of all time.
The fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy starts on July 23 at Old Trafford, and it could be a defining moment for Root as he aims to move up the all-time run-scorers chart.
Root currently has 13,259 Test runs from 156 matches. He needs just 31 more runs to go past Rahul Dravid (13,288) and Jacques Kallis (13,289). Considering Root’s skill and recent form, this seems like a very achievable target in the upcoming Test.
After surpassing Dravid and Kallis, Root will set his sights on Ricky Ponting, who sits second with 13,378 runs. Root needs 119 more runs to move into the second spot, a huge milestone that only a few cricketers in history have reached.
At the very top of the list is the India legend Sachin Tendulkar, with a record-breaking 15,921 Test runs. While Root could soon reach second place, beating Tendulkar’s record will take years of consistent performance, something only a few players have been able to achieve.

Joe Root had a slow start in the current five-match Test series against India, but he bounced back with a brilliant century at Lord’s during the third Test. His innings helped England win by 22 runs and take a 2-1 lead in the series.
So far in this series, Root has scored 253 runs at an average of 50.60, including one century and one half-century. While he’s currently eighth on the list of top scorers in the series, his recent performances show that he’s building momentum.
Root has already scored 37 Test centuries, the fifth-most in the format’s history, and has a career average of 50.80. With plenty of cricket still ahead of him, Root is well on his way to becoming one of the greatest Test batters of all time.
