Ricky Ponting Reveals ‘Joe Root can Break Sachin Tendulkar’s Records’
Ricky Ponting Reveals ‘Joe Root can Break Sachin Tendulkar’s Records’: One of the top four hitters in the world is Joe Root, the star batsman for England.
He is one of the so-called “fab four,” along with Steve Smith, Virat Kohli, and Kane Williamson, according to fans and commentators.
In Test cricket, the right-handed hitter just passed the 12,000-run mark.

Meanwhile, former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has made a bold prediction that Root could break legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record.
With an average of 50.11, the 33-year-old has amassed 12027 runs at bat across 261 innings.
It is noteworthy that he is quite close to surpassing Ponting’s record of 13378 runs. In relation to Tendulkar’s record, the veteran of England requires 3,992 runs to eclipse the historic 15921 milestone.

The Yorkshire native will also be visiting Sri Lanka for the red-ball series, and given the favorable circumstances for hitters in the subcontinent, he expects to see an El Dorado land in Lanka.
“He could succeed in breaking Sachin’s record in that way. He is (more than) 3,000 runs behind at the age of 33. Depending on how many Test matches they play, but if they participate in 10 to 14 each year and score 800–1,000 runs annually, it suggests he will likely reach his goal in three or four years. That means he will be 37 years old. If his hunger’s still there, then there’s every chance that he could do it,” said Ponting on the latest episode of The ICC Review.
Since the beginning of the year, Root has been in excellent contact. It was his fourth century of the year and his 32nd overall during the most recent series against West Indies.
Like Kohli, Root has a reputation for tasting blood after a strong start and turning those starts into noteworthy hundreds.

Ponting highlighted the very aspect and lauded the batter for capitalising on the peak 30s tradition.
“He is someone that in the last couple of years has got better and better. There’s always talk around batters reaching their prime in their early 30s, and he’s certainly done that. It’s been his conversion rates being the big thing. Four or five years ago, he was making a lot of 50s and struggling to go on and make hundreds, and he’s gone the other way recently. Almost every time he gets to 50 now, he goes on and makes a big hundred. So that’s been the real turnaround for him,” he added.

Rohit Sharma’s Name Not Include in 16-Member India Team List: “Forced Retirement?”
Rohit Sharma’s Name Not Include in 16-Member India Team List: “Forced Retirement?” – This is not a right hint for Rohit Sharma, as he missed the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney.
When Jasprit Bumrah had gone for the toss, he won the toss and decided to bat against the Australian team.
This Test will decide, for India whether they qualify for or not for the World Test Championship.

In this tournament, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma just scored 31 runs in five innings. There was a growing feeling that his end was near.
During those innings, the 37-year-old white-ball legend appeared to be a pale shell of his former self, finding it difficult to execute even his bread-and-butter strokes, such as the signature front foot pull.
During the customary pre-match warm-up session, Rohit was seen playing football with Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan, who is ending the series without getting a game.
Following this, Rohit was observed conversing with Hari Prasad, the team’s video analyst. Before Bumrah emerged to a thunderous cheer from the packed house, he departed the outfield just before the toss time.

When the TV cameras panned on him, Rohit was seen sitting outside the dressing room with fielding coach Ryan Ten Doeschate by his side. Head coach Gautam Gambhir sat a distance from the duo. Interestingly, Rohit’s name was missing from team sheet that has the names of all players available, including substitutes and reserves. Only injured Akash Deep and Rohit’s names were missing.

“So typical of Rohit Sharma. Doing the right thing, doing what’s right for the team. But could not understand the ‘cloak & dagger’ around the issue. Wasn’t even talked about at the toss,” he posted on ‘X’.
After India lost the fourth Test in Melbourne to go down 1-2 in the five-match series, rumors over his future in the longest format also intensified.
Rohit’s least successful year in Test cricket was 2024, when he amassed 619 runs in 26 innings across 14 games at an average of 24.76.
Although Rohit led India to a much-anticipated T20 World Cup victory last year, his performance in the conventional format significantly declined.
