Analyzing Joe Root’s record in India, the right-hander has one of the best records for an English batsman in India as in the 16 Tests he’s played in India, Root averages 56.84 with 4 centuries and 9 fifties in his backpack. Records do separate Root from the rest of the English batsman in the side though it will still be challenging given that the Indian side has just returned after securing one of the greatest Test series wins in Australia.
