Sachin Tendulkar vs Joe Root comparison News

Joe Root’s 39th Test century has reignited comparisons with cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who holds the record for most Test centuries (51) and runs (15,921). Root, with over 13,500 Test runs and unmatched consistency in the World Test Championship era, is rapidly closing the gap. He now holds the most centuries at home (24 in England) and continues to dominate top teams like India. With age on his side and elite form, Root is on track to potentially surpass Tendulkar’s historic records, making this one of cricket’s most thrilling statistical races.

Tendulkar’s away record is equally stellar, with 6,821 runs at an average of 53.70 in 87 Tests. His performances in challenging conditions against the best bowlers further cement his legacy.
