NEW DELHI: Former India opener Wasim Jaffer on Saturday heaped praise on Joe Root, saying that the England Test skipper is single-handedly carrying the team’s batting on his shoulders.
“Joe Root is such a joy to watch. Looks easy on the eyes but scores some tough runs. One of the the best players of spin, and currently the best among usual suspects in Kohli, Smith and Williamson. What a year he’s having, single-handedly carrying the English batting,” tweeted Jaffer.
Root scored 62 in the first innings of the ongoing second Ashes Test at the Adelaide Oval. Along the course of this innings, the England skipper went past 1,600 Test runs in 2021.

If Root manages to score 1,789 runs in 2021, then he would become the batter to register the most Test runs in a single calendar year.
