Joe Root Crosses 14,000 Test Runs — Only the Second Batter Ever After Sachin Tendulkar
Times of India·Sunday, 21 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 the milestone after Sachin Tendulkar. Root achieved the feat in his 302nd innings at age 36 and now sits second on the all-time Test run-scoring list.
Why It Matters
Tendulkar is a god of Indian cricket, and any milestone that puts another batter in his company is a genuinely significant moment for fans of the game.
