“What a player, what a man”: Twitter reactions on Joe Root becoming the 14th player to complete 10000 runs in Test match history

Twitter reactions on Joe Root joining the list of batters to complete 10,000 in Tests, while guiding his team to victory as well at Lord’s.

On ‘Day 4’ of the first Test match between England and New Zealand at the Lord’s Cricket Ground, a Joe Root master class with the bat, coupled with some excellent pace bowling earlier, has helped England secure a 5-wicket victory, to go 1-0 up in the three-match series.

While the English pacers played a significant role in restricting the New Zealand second innings lead to mere 276, the player to have hogged all the limelight was their former skipper Joe Root, who brought up his 26th Test match ton and completed 10,000 runs in the format simultaneously, on the same delivery.

Along with becoming only the 14th Test batter in the rich Cricketing history to make it to the rare elite list, Root also became the joint-youngest to reach the feat.

Moreover, he became the first batter in Test history to reach the milestone number in less than 10 years, having made his debut in the year 2012.
