Legendary India batter Sachin Tendulkar recently praised Joe Root's prolific run in Tests as he's approaching his record for most runs in the format.

Sachin Tendulkar fondly recalls Joe Root's Test debut in Nagpur in 2012, where he immediately recognized Root's potential. Tendulkar was impressed by Root's composure, technique, and ability to assess the wicket, leading him to predict Root's future captaincy.

Sachin Tendulkar delighted fans in a witty Reddit AMA, mixing personal anecdotes with cricketing tales. From a playful dig at umpire Steve Bucknor to confirming son Arjun's engagement, the batting legend was candid and insightful.

The new World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle has commenced with Australia and England leading with a perfect PCT of 100. Sri Lanka follows after their series against Bangladesh. India, despite Shubman Gill's team's impressive fight and five centurions, suffered a loss to England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy due to a middle-order collapse.

Stuart Broad lauded Akash Deep's effectiveness on a challenging Edgbaston pitch, highlighting his ability to target the stumps and generate movement, even with the older ball. Broad emphasized Deep's strategic use of the crease to deceive batsmen, exemplified by Root's dismissal, and advised India to utilize him wisely with the new ball.

Rishabh Pant's historic twin centuries at Headingley propelled him to seventh in ICC Test rankings, while Ben Duckett's stellar performance secured him eighth position. Shubman Gill climbed to 20th after a century. Jasprit Bumrah remains the top Test bowler. In T20Is, Michael Levitt and Brandon McMullen made significant gains, reflecting the growing competitiveness in international cricket.
