[Temujin Khaghan]

Joe Root will finish 10K in Tests and ODIs.

[kosingh]

He's the next Rohit Sharma of world cricket.

Revisit this thread in 2-3 years and Root is going to be one of the Top batsman in world cricket. I mean he is not-intimidated at all batting in ODI's regardless of conditions and the way he played in his debut test in alien conditions,he has all the makings of a future great. Something about his swagger and confidence,tells me he has the game to flourish in all conditions. Guys Joe Root is the real deal.

Damn.....Spot on......brilliant

Yes and MoYo agrees too.

Just Bumping this for 2 reasons.

 

Reason 1-History Lesson

 

Reason 2-There is a reason why someone is talented and the need to pull the trigger on such talents

[maniac]

Stamping his legacy. Great player.
 

Root in India > Kohli in England 

[ungboysj]

I think skillwise he was best among all modern day batsman but earlier was getting 50s and not hundreds

 

He is much younger than other fab3 and bats in difficult home pitches

Has done well in Asia too with only Australia the last fortress as batsman.also he is most dominant batsman among the 4 in tests

 

I think he is now best batsman in world and for me best in Fab 4 when all is said and done atleast in tests 

 

Ps- very pleasing to watch too

[vvvslaxman]

When Mitch Johnson terrorized him in Australia, he looked like he was a limited batsman. On those same grounds agains similar attack Kohli made 4 centuries. Now he is 30. Right about the time most batsman reaches their prime.  He is making the most use of his form. That too India is his favorite team to play against. Averaging 63.

Root is a better batsman than Kohli. Even playing against spinners Root is well ahead of Kohli. 

However both have proved to be chokers in big matches, so jury is out on that front.

Root is not better than Kohli overall. Ffs Kohli had a bigger series in England(2018) than Root ever had despite home conditions. 

[rtmohanlal]

knee jerk reaction ..... Root is in the best phase of his  career .... Kohli is past it . Smith too is doubtful of maintaining earlier high standards.

And Root had better series than Kohli in India(2021) despite Kohli's home conditions.

Dude I mostly agree with you, both here and chit chat topics

 

You should tag @sandeep, he is the one who strongly doubts your acumen

Ben Duckett, Jeet Raval, PJ Moor, Ambatli Rayudu, Matt "Ranshaw" - among so many others were also tagged as "real deals" by same 'acumen'.   A promiscuous bandwagoner with pretensions of competing with Prem Jyotish.
