India will take on England in the 3rd Test of the 5-game series at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground on July 10. Joe Root, England’s modern-day great batter, will be in focus as he gears up to topple the record books.

In 2 Tests so far, Root’s form has gone downhill. In four innings, he managed to score just 109 runs with a 36.33 average. However, given his talent, Root cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, for the third Test, he will walk down with purpose as multiple records are lying down for him to achieve.

3000 Runs Against India In Tests

Joe Root is currently just 45 runs shy from reaching his 3000 Test runs against India. If he attains this landmark, he will be the first cricket player ever to record 3000 Test runs vs. India. This would be a massive achievement considering India’s strong bowling line-up over the years.

7000 Test Runs in England

Root also needs 99 more runs to complete 7000 Test runs in England, a feat that only a few players have managed. This shows not only his longevity but also his ability to dominate in home conditions. Playing at venues such as Lord's, Headingley, and Old Trafford, Root has frequently been England's backbone with the bat.

Chasing 800 Fours In Tests In England

The stylish right-hander is also just one boundary away from hitting 800 fours in Tests in England. If he gets one more four, then he will be part of an exclusive list, becoming the second player after Alastair Cook (816) to reach this milestone.

Milestone In Fielding: 50 Catches Or Dismissals vs India

Joe Root is also close to achieving a fielding milestone. He needs three more catches or dismissals to complete 50 across formats against India. Often seen fielding in the slips, Root’s safe hands have been crucial for England in all formats of the game.

4000 Runs Against India Across Formats

Root is just 33 runs away from scoring 4000 international runs against India across formats (Tests, ODIs, and T20Is). This indicates how consistent he has been against one of the best cricketing nations in all the versions of the game. To score that many runs against a side like India is no mean achievement and proves his big-match attitude.

11,000 Runs In England Across Formats

And finally, Root is on the verge of another massive landmark. He needs 189 more runs to complete 11,000 international runs in England across all formats. Very few players in world cricket have managed to achieve such a total at home, which again highlights Root’s legacy in English cricket.
