On Thursday, the opening day of the 2nd Test against Sri Lanka, Root's century massively helped in lifting England from 130/4 to 358/7 by stumps. Root now also has scored the most tons among the finest batters of his generation in the longest format of the game. Kane Williamson (32), Steve Smith (32) and Virat Kohli (29) have all been overtaken by the Englishman. Root has also scored more runs than any other batter of his generation in the format and is currently in the running to break legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most runs scored in Tests. He is currently in the 7th position for most runs scored in the format with 12,274 runs and needs a little over 3,500 runs to overtake Tendulkar. The Fab Four (Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Kane Williamson and Joe Root) are still going quite strong, however Kohli has fallen behind in terms of Test hundreds. He may be the leading century-maker in ODIs, but Kohli has some catching up to do in Tests as he takes the bottom-most place among all 4 former captains. Recently, former England captain Michael Vaughan did some number crunching of his own and took a dig at the Indian fans with a 'good morning' message on X. Vaughan personally noted down some striking stats of Kohli and Root, comparing how the 2 stack up today.
