Career
Joe Root is England's leading Test run-scorer and the most technically orthodox of the four batters who defined the 2010s. He scores heavily square of the wicket on both sides, plays spin as well as any non-subcontinental batter of his era, and has scored Test hundreds in every country he has toured.
He captained England in more Tests than anyone else, a period that included heavy defeats in Australia and a long run without a series win, and he returned to the ranks in 2022 and immediately entered the most productive phase of his career.
Highlights
- England's leading run-scorer in Test cricket
- Captained England in more Test matches than any other player
- Scored Test centuries against every opponent he has faced
- Central to England's 2019 World Cup winning side

Where these figures come from
Sources for this profile
- IPL figures computed from ball-by-ball records of 1,243 IPL matches.
- Big Bash figures computed from ball-by-ball records of men’s BBL matches.
- Ashes figures compiled from published Test match records, not from ball-by-ball data.

How the numbers are derived
- A wide is not a ball faced; a no ball is.
- Byes and leg byes are not charged to the bowler; wides and no balls are.
- Six kinds of dismissal are credited to a bowler. A run out is not one of them.
- An average is runs over dismissals, and is left blank rather than shown as infinite.
