NEW DELHI: There was never an iota of doubt over Joe Root’s class since his Test debut against India but his latest heroics have left many wondering if he is England’s best ever batsman across the three formats.
Root is among the rare breed of batsmen who need not sacrifice aesthetics to score freely.
“He is the best England batsman across all forms of cricket, ever,” former England captain Nasser Hussain told Sky Sports after the team chased down an imposing target of 230 to record a two-wicket win.
“He is our best player, a star, and will only get better. These are the best years of his life,” added Nasser.
