First, the Pakistani bowlers were beaten, and then this player dried his underwear on the field, what is going on in Multan?

The wonder of Joe Root
Joe Root's double century against Pakistan is very special. He is actually the first non-Asian batsman to score a double century in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India. Root is called a run-scoring batsman in England but this player has an average of more than 50 in South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, UAE, West Indies, and Pakistan. Whereas in India, he scores runs at an average of more than 45.
