Joe Root Becomes Only the Second Batter After Sachin Tendulkar to Cross 14,000 Test Runs
Times of India·Saturday, 20 June 2026
England's Joe Root surpassed 14,000 Test runs during the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval, becoming only the second batter in history to reach that mark after Sachin Tendulkar. Root achieved the milestone in his 302nd innings at age 36 and now sits second on the all-time Test run-scoring list. Tendulkar remains the only player ahead of him.
Why It Matters
Tendulkar is a demigod in Indian cricket, and any milestone that references him gets attention. Root joining him in this exclusive club is a genuinely historic moment in Test cricket.
