Joe Root Could Break Sachin Tendulkar's Record
Joe Root, a top cricket player, recently passed two legends, Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis, in terms of how many runs he's scored.
A sports expert, Michael Atherton, thinks Root could even beat Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record.
To do this, Root would need to play around 30 more games, assuming he stays healthy and keeps playing well.
Root is currently third on the list of all-time run scorers, and he's been playing some of his best cricket ever.
He has scored 50 or more runs 104 times, which is a lot, but Tendulkar has done it even more.
Joe Root has surpassed Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis in Test runs.
Michael Atherton believes Root could potentially break Sachin Tendulkar's record.
Root currently holds the third position in Test run rankings.
Atherton estimates Root needs approximately 30 Test matches to achieve Tendulkar's record.
Root has 104 scores of 50+, second only to Tendulkar's 119.
