Joe Root will break Sachin's world record very easily, this is the biggest reason

England's star batsman Joe Root once again managed to score a century. Joe Root scored a brilliant century on the first day of the Lord's Test against Sri Lanka. With this, the question has arisen again whether Root can soon break Sachin's record of most Test runs. The answer to this seems to be yes. Let us tell you how and by when Joe Root can break Sachin's record. Joe Root has such a statistic that can put him ahead of Sachin.

Before knowing whether Joe Root can break Sachin's record or not, look at these figures. Joe Root has 12274 runs in Tests and Sachin has 15921 runs in Test cricket. That means Joe Root is 3647 runs away from Sachin. This gap is still big but the thing to understand here is that the speed at which Joe Root is scoring runs is directly a matter of danger for Sachin.

Joe Root has scored 12274 runs in 145 Test matches so far. Talking about Sachin, he had scored 11616 runs in 145 Test matches. Meaning that in this case, Joe Root is ahead of Sachin. But here not only runs but age is also a big factor. When Sachin played 145 Tests, his age was 34 years, 270 days, while Joe Root is currently 33 years, 245 days old. This means that along with runs, Joe Root is also one step ahead of Sachin in terms of age. Here it is important to note one more thing the England team plays a lot of Test matches. England plays the most Test matches in the World Test Championship and Joe Root plays almost every match in it.
