England’s Joe Root jumped three places to become the second batter with the most runs in Tests during the fourth India vs England Test on Friday.
The 34-year-old surpassed India’s Rahul Dravid, South Africa’s Jacques Kallis and Australia’s Ricky Ponting all in one innings to become the second-highest run-getter in the red-ball format.
Resuming his innings on 11 on the third day of the fourth India vs England Test, the right-handed batter surpassed Dravid when he completed his 30 runs.
He overtook Jacques Kallis on the very next ball with a single.
Joe Root, who had completed his 38th hundred earlier in the day, went past Ricky Ponting when he reached 120 on the third day.
