Joe Root's remarkable achievement of surpassing Alastair Cook's record by scoring his 34th Test century has garnered widespread admiration from cricket experts and enthusiasts alike. The former England captain, Michael Vaughan, has gone as far as proclaiming the 33-year-old as England's "greatest" batsman.
Root's incredible feat came during the second Test against Sri Lanka at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. On the first day of the match, he equalled Cook's record by notching his 33rd Test hundred. However, he didn't stop there. On Saturday, Root showcased his exceptional skills once again, scoring another century in the second innings of the match to overtake Cook and cement his place in the annals of English cricket history.
