Delhi: England star batsman Joe Root reacted to David Warner’s recent remarks, in which Warner taunted Route’s poor performance in Australia. Warner also said that Josh Hazlewood would once again target the front pad of the route.

Root described it as part of creating the atmosphere before taking these things seriously. He said, “Such things are not new. Such things happen before every big series so that the atmosphere can be created. This does not affect my way of playing.”

Sweetness of not being able to score a century in Australia

Joe Root also admitted that he had put a lot of pressure on himself in an attempt to score runs in Australia in the last two Ashes series. He said that during that time many external things dreamed his attention. Root said, “Last time I wanted a lot to play well. This made me deviate from my original batting. Also, there were many other problems on those tours, which had to be faced.”

Performance so far in Australia

Joe Root has played 14 Test matches in Australia so far, in which he has scored 892 runs. His average has been 35.68 and he has scored 9 half -centuries. However, till now he has not been able to score a single century in Australia, which is considered to be the only incomplete aspect of his magnificent career.

This time’s goal – no pressure

Root says that this time he wants to enjoy the game without any pressure. He said, “This time I just want to enjoy the tour. Australia is a beautiful country and playing cricket there is a great experience. The atmosphere will be hot, as there is hope from an Ashes series. I have now played more than 150 Tests and I think I am fully ready.”

England’s big mission

The Ashes 2025-26 will start from 21 November in Perth. England’s team has not won a single Test match in Australia for the last three tours. England last won a Test match in Australia in January 2011. This time the English team led by Ben Stokes will try to end this drought and Joe Root can play an important role in it.
