I n a batting performance as dominant as England’s against Ireland at Lord’s, and in a team devouring various scoring records, one milestone slightly slipped under the radar. On day two, as The relative value of runs versus wickets is perhaps why such staging posts often differ by way of fanfare. If Jimmy Anderson adds 15 more to his 685 Test pelts this summer – or perhaps even overtakes Shane Warne’s 708 – expect a fair amount of bunting to come out. But it is still worth noting Root’s rarified company, with Sachin Tendulkar’s tally of 15,921 at the summit and Allan Border, in 10th place on 11,174, an Australian great who could well be overtaken during this upcoming Ashes series. Read more Aged 32 and with 11,004 runs, Root is young enough for a crack at Alastair Cook’s England record of 12,472 (fifth place overall), and possibly the very top. But he is also shrewd enough not to lob any grenades before taking on the Aussies. Ollie Robinson has spoken of dishing out “a good hiding”, and Stuart Broad has had his red pen out, but Root was keeping his cool after the Instead, Root’s advice to the likes of Ben Duckett and Harry Brook is not to “over-egg” their first taste of Ashes cricket; to know that the spotlight will be brightest, that national interest will swell in a way that trumps all other cricket, but also very little changes in the moment. “It’s the same game,” he said. “As soon as the bowler lets go of it, it’s you against the ball. Just go and play as you’ve been p...

The finalists of the 2022 edition of the tournament, Rajasthan Royals, will also look for a repeat of their performances from the previous edition as they head into the forthcoming tournament. Sanju Samson-led RR dominated almost every opponent they faced in 2022 before barely missing out on the IPL title to Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans. Ahead of the start of the tournament, Joe Root recently joined the RR camp following which, the star English batter took part in his first training session with the team. The franchise took to Twitter to share some glimpses of Root’s training. In a video shared by the team, Root was seen playing his signature cover drive and knocking over a camera in his first-ever training session with the team. RR captioned the tweet, saying, “26.03.23 - Joe Root’s first ball as a Royal!” The match is scheduled to be played on Sunday, April 2 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium where the finalists from the last year would look to grab their first win of the tournament. Skipper Sanju Samson has got a number of destructive weapons in his arsenal in the form of explosive big guns such as Jos Buttler, Trent Boult and Jason Holder, whom he would rely upon to give desired results to the franchise. For the first-ever time, Royals have chosen Guwahati's ACA stadium as their second home ground where they would kickstart the proceedings on April 5 against Punjab Kings, thus marking IPL's historic entry in North East India.

By India Today Sports Desk: England batter Joe Root has suggested that he is primed and ready for the Ashes summer after his invaluable spell in the IPL 2023 with Rajasthan Royals. This is the first time Root has played in the IPL after being picked by RR in the IPL 2023 auction. He has only played two games for the former champions and is yet to bat in any of the matches. “It has been a bit different, but I’ve had some really good and interesting conversations with coaches and ex players out here about Test cricket. “I spoke with Brian Lara about batting for a few hours which was really insightful. At this stage of my career and where I am as a player, I feel like that is where I am going to learn the most, by picking people’s brains and thinking about what I can add to my own game and taking it forward into the next few years. “You come here and try to develop parts of your white ball game and to be around T20 cricket has been amazing, but to get the chance to speak about Test cricket with Lara and Kumar Sangakkara and other current players is invaluable.” England will be playing Ireland in a one-off Test before taking on Australia in the Ashes series. The Test against Ireland will start on 1st June, with the IPL final being played on 28th May. Root insisted he will have time to make it back to England after the IPL final as he doesn't want to miss Test cricket. The England batter said that the format doesn't matter for him as long as he gets to play cricket. “Even if we...

The first men's Test against Australia begins on 16 June at Edgbaston, with England set to field a number of players with little or no Ashes experience. "If you're successful, it can set you up for life, not just the rest of your career but beyond it," said Root. "It's an opportunity to make history and have an incredible two months." • England spinner Leach ruled out of Ashes with stress fracture While Australia have won two of the past three Ashes series, they have not won a series in England since 2001. The most recent contest down under was won 4-0 by Australia, who will begin this year's Ashes as World Test Championship winners if they beat India in this week's final. England are on a run of 11 wins in their past 13 Tests. Players such as Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Matthew Potts and Josh Tongue will be experiencing Ashes cricket for the first time, while Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope and Ollie Robinson have only played in one Ashes series away from home. "There will be a lot more attention, noise and hype around it," said 32-year-old Root, who has played in 29 Ashes Tests. "There will be people that might not normally be interested in cricket very interested in cricket for five or six weeks. "It's the same game. As soon as the bowler lets go of it, it's you against the ball. "Just go and play as you've been playing for the last 12 months. And when it goes well, enjoy everything that comes with it." • 'England in best possible shape for Ashes tilt' • All our daily Ashes pictu...

Rajasthan Royals have promoted R Ashwin and have tried to use Devdutt Padikkal in the top order. However, neither of these players have found their groove yet. Padikkal was good against the Gujarat Titans, but he has not been consistent enough to warrant a permanent selection. Joe Root will offer solidity to the top order and will give even more cushion to their explosive openers in Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. They could use Root as a replacement for either Trent Boult or Adam Zampa. #2 In good, consistent form Joe Root has been in top form in T20s Joe Root performed exceptionally well in the recently concluded ILT20 tournament by scoring 135 runs. Despite the low-scoring nature of the tournament, Root's strike rate was impressive, and he was the second-fastest scorer among his Dubai Capitals teammates who faced at least 25 balls, with only Rovman Powell scoring quicker. In addition, Root's strike-rate in Test and One Day International (ODI) cricket has significantly improved since the beginning of 2022. He now strikes at 66 in Tests and 92 in ODIs, which is faster than his previous strike rates of 55 and 87, respectively. He wants to be an all-format player for England and his recent exploits should enthuse Rajasthan Royals to use him as one of the key members of the batting order. #1 Excellent player of spin Joe Root is an excellent player of spin As the IPL progresses, Root's strength in dominating spin bowling, which is widely acknowledged, is likely to become cr...

722 Royals, here's the man you have to Root for. 💗 He has a decent record in T20Is and averages above 35 in the said format. However, Root will play in IPL for the very first time in the upcoming season. Root's addition will immensely benefit the Rajasthan Royals. Here is a look at three reasons why Root's addition is a good signing for Rajasthan Royals: #1 Guide young Indian batsmen Root has experience playing international cricket for more than a decade Rajasthan Royals will immensely benefit from the addition of Joe Root to their squad. Root's experience playing international cricket for more than a decade makes him one of the most experienced players in the squad. Rajasthan Royals have a few young batsmen in their ranks. The likes of Devdutt Padikkal, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and even Root has tasted success in all formats around the world, and his addition to the IPL could benefit young Indian batsmen, which in turn could reap handsome rewards for Indian cricket. #2 Providing stability in the middle-overs and the role of an aggressor in the death-overs Root can provide finishing toches to the innings Root is a cricketer who can adapt himself to any game situation. If Samson, Rajasthan Royals have lacked a player like Root in the middle order. The team released Daryl Mitchell, Rassie van der Dussen, and James Neesham before the auction, and Root has been included in the squad. Apart from stabilizing the innings, Root can also provide the finishing touches to the innings and s...
