Joe Root
In the 5-match Test series against India, former England captain Joe Root’s bat appeared completely silent in the first three matches. The main reason for Root’s continuous flop has been his batting in a manner completely opposite to his natural style, in which he has been seen batting in baseball style, the England team’s new strategy of playing Test cricket. However, so far on the tour of India, he has appeared completely unsuccessful in this matter. Regarding this, now former Australian team captain Ian Chappell has also given a big advice to Joe Root regarding his way of batting before the remaining 2 Test matches of the series.
Root should play his natural game
After Brendon McCullum became the coach and Ben Stokes the captain, England is playing Test matches in baseball style. Joe Root is struggling a lot to adjust to this on the current tour of India. Regarding this, veteran Australian player Ian Chappell, in his statement on Wide World of Sports, described playing baseball style as a very bad strategy and said that I do not know why he is making so many changes in his game. I would never advocate playing pre-decided shots. Root, who has scored more than 11000 runs in Tests, had to face a lot of criticism after playing a reverse sweep shot against Bumrah in the second innings of the third Test. So far in this Test series, Root has been able to score only 77 runs at an average of 12.83 after 6 innings.
England lost by 434 runs in Rajkot test
The England team may have won the first match of this Test series brilliantly, but after that they had to face a crushing defeat in the next 2 matches. In the third Test of the series played at Rajkot ground, the English team lost by 434 runs, which is also the biggest defeat of the England team in terms of runs in Test cricket since 1934. Let us tell you that the fourth match of this series between the two teams will be played on the Ranchi ground from 23rd February.
