Joe Root's Historic Test Awaits At Manchester: All Set To Surpass Legends Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting In All-Time Test Runs
ENG vs IND: England's batting maestro Joe Root is poised to create history in the fourth Test against India, beginning July 23 at Old Trafford in Manchester. Root, already one of the greatest Test batters of the modern era, is just a few runs away from overtaking some of the sport's biggest legends Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting in the list of highest run-scorers in Test cricket. 5 Highest Run Scorers In Test Cricket History Player Runs Team 1. Sachin Tendulkar 15,921 India 2. Ricky Ponting 13,378 Australia 3. Jacques Kallis 13,289 South Africa 4. Rahul Dravid 13,288 India 5. Joe Root 13,259 England Root currently stands at 13,259 runs in 156 Test matches. With just 31 more runs, he will leapfrog Rahul Dravid (13,288 runs) and Jacques Kallis (13,289 runs) two stalwarts of the game. Given Root's recent form, this milestone is likely to be achieved early in the upcoming Test at Manchester. Next Target: Ricky Ponting at No. 2 Once Root moves past Dravid and Kallis, his next goal will be Ricky Ponting, who is second on the all-time list with 13,378 runs. Root needs 119 runs to surpass the former Australian captain and secure second place in the prestigious ranking a remarkable feat that highlights his consistency and hunger for big runs. Tendulkar's Everest Still Ahead At the top of the all-time list is Sachin Tendulkar, with a mammoth 15,921 Test runs. While that figure remains a distant dream, Root, at age 34 and with his fitness and form intact, could still have several productive years left in red-ball cricket. If he continues at his current pace, even Tendulkar's record might not be entirely out of reach. Strong Comeback in India Series After a quiet start to the current five-match series against India, Root bounced back in spectacular fashion with a century at Lord's in the third Test. His composed ton played a crucial role in England's thrilling 22-run victory, giving the hosts a 2-1 lead in the series. So far in this series, Root has scored 253 runs in 3 matches at an impressive average of 50.60, including one century and a fifty. Though he is currently eighth among the top run-scorers in the series, his recent form suggests he's peaking at the right time. 37 Test Centuries & Still Going Strong Joe Root already boasts 37 Test hundreds, which places him fifth on the all-time list of most Test centuries. His career batting average of 50.80 speaks volumes of his elite-level consistency over the years. With the series hanging in the balance and the prestigious Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on the line, the fourth Test could not only be pivotal for the series outcome but also for Joe Root's legacy. If he continues his golden run with the bat, the Manchester Test might be remembered as a defining chapter in his illustrious career. As Root prepares to walk out at Old Trafford, cricket fans across the globe will be watching closely not just to see if England can take an unassailable 3-1 lead, but also to witness history in the making.

England won the opening Test at Headingley by five wickets before India made a swift comeback to win the second Test at Edgbaston, levelling the series one all. England are, for the second time, ahead in the series 2-1. Things won't be easy for Team India as they stand between an overhaul by forced changes due to injuries. Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the remainder while Arshdeep Singh will miss the Manchester Test, both due to injury. Pacer Akash Deep is also set to miss the fourth Test due to issues in his groin. The Ben Stokes side has announced their XI, making just a solitary change in Liam Lawson coming into the team in place of Shoaib Bashir, who has also been ruled out of the remainder due to finger injury sustained in the 3rd Test.

IND vs ENG: India out to achieve first-ever feat in their Test cricket history
India's Mohammed Siraj has indicated that Jasprit Bumrah, the world's top-ranked Test bowler, will participate in the crucial fourth Test against England at Old Trafford on Wednesday, despite managing a back injury that limits him to three matches in the five-Test series. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now India trail the series 2-1 after losses at Headingley and Lord's, where Bumrah has already played. The team faces selection challenges with Akash Deep's availability uncertain due to a groin injury. "So far, we only know that Jassi (Bumrah) will play," Siraj confirmed on Monday. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. The Indian team must make at least one change as Nitish Kumar Reddy is ruled out of the final two Tests with a knee injury. Additionally, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant's participation is uncertain following a finger injury last week. However, he did keep in the nets on Monday. Siraj was the last wicket to fall in India's recent 22-run defeat at Lord's, where he played Shoaib Bashir's delivery onto his stumps. Mohammed Siraj press conference: Akash Deep and Bumrah update, on India vs Pakistan, warning to ENG "It took a long time to get over. That match felt like we could've won. I'm very emotional," Siraj said. "We fought hard. Jadeja did great and even Bumrah batted 54 balls. Still, we lost. But I told myself, it's 2-1 now, not over yet. That gave me motivation to do better," he added. The third Test at Lord's showcased India's lower-order resilience, with Siraj lasting 30 balls and both Reddy and Bumrah surviving more than 50 deliveries. Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten on 61. "At one point it looked like we'd lose by 80 runs but we took it deep and made it close, losing by just 22. That fight meant a lot," Siraj reflected on the narrow defeat. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Injuries, rain, availability concerns: Team India on edge in Manchester | Exclusive updates ahead of 4th Test India go into the fourth Test with an aim of achieving something they have never done in their Test cricket history - overturning a deficit. The Shubman Gill-led side will look to win or draw the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. None of the Indian teams of the past have come from 0-1 or 1-2 down in the past to win a five-match series. In fact, only thrice has a team won a five-match Test series when they trailed 1-2 or 0-1 after the third match of the series.
