Well, on paper, these numbers might suggest Root's dominance in the purest format of the game, particularly considering his slightly better batting average and significantly more runs and fifties as well. However, Vaughan's tweet was just a ploy to grab attention as his statistical comparison was somewhat misleading. His tweet didn't go unnoticed by cricket fanatics who quickly pointed out the flaws in the former skipper's narrative. Fans were quick to remind him that Virat Kohli has played significantly fewer innings than Joe Root. While Root's numbers were indeed impressive, the fact that Kohli had played 72 fewer innings was conveniently overlooked by Vaughan. On the other hand, the majority of the fans came to Kohli's defence by highlighting the run-machine's dominance in SENA countries. Some of them were of the opinion that 70% of Root's centuries came at home whereas others reminded Vaughan that Kohli has scored six Test centuries in Australia and Joe Root has none in the enemy's territory. It is quite evident that Vaughan may have underestimated the knowledge and passion of cricket fans worldwide as the former England captain came with the only intention of stoking a debate, which backfired.
