Cook Believes Root Can Get 'very Close' To Tendulkar's Record Test Runs
New Delhi: Former England captain Alastair Cook believes in-form compatriot Joe Root can get 'very close' to Sachin Tendulkar's 15,921 Test runs in the coming years.
Recently, Root surpassed Cook to become the leading run-getter and century-maker for England in the first Test between England and Pakistan in Multan earlier this month. With 12,716 runs, Root is the fifth-highest run-scorer in Test cricket.
“I watched the moment, then I rang him after the end of the play. I couldn't think of the right words to write in a text message. So I thought I’d just ring him, see what he was up to, and make sure he had a beer in his hand, which I think he did,” Cook, who was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, said during a round-table interview hosted by the ICC.
