The modern era batting veteran Joe Root Kovid -19 turned to England’s run -machine in Test cricket and scored the mountains of runs, which kept him closer to the world record of legendary Sachin Tendulkar in Test cricket.
Joe Root is probably the best test batsman of this generation. The right -handed batsman scored 6080 runs and 22 centuries since the start of the World Test Championship. His ability to adapt to situations around the world has made him a bad dream for bowlers.

Panesar cited the example of Virat Kohli, who fought badly against the ball outside the stump in Australia, which later became a significant turn in his test career. Panesar warned that a poor chain in Australia could lead to not only the root form but also about the leadership of England and also about the coaching setup if the results go against them in ashes.
Monty Panesar warns the route in front of the ashes
Monty Panesar was quoted by India today as Today: “It really depends on how to go for him next year, how the ashes go on.
Suddenly, it’s all a chain, and you see, and it is a completely different ball game. England may lose his coach and his captain; If it is a very bad chain, some jobs can be done. Suddenly people start questioning, is it the best? Therefore, this is very important when you go to Australia; It does not matter how good you are, you have to perform in Australia. ,

Monty Panesar doubts the centenary of the root in Australia
Even Panesar expressed doubts about the route that finally broke his centenary drought in Australia. Facing one of the deadliest bowling attacks on the bouncy Australian pitches, the challenge will be more difficult than ever, but still, the former spinner feels that Joe will have a chance to score a hundred in Adelaide or Melbourne, on the basis of circumstances, specifically given his form.
He signed this saying, “This is going to be very difficult for him because he is going to face a strong Australian attack, and it is probably one of the strongest bowling attacks that we have seen. Well, he has got a chance, but it will be a bit difficult for him.”
