Joe Root has insisted helping England win games rather than surpassing Sachin Tendulkar as Test cricket's all-time leading run-scorer remains his primary motivation after moving into second place in the standings. Root leapfrogged three greats of the game during his magnificent 150 in the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford on Friday, overtaking Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis before going past former Australia captain Ricky Ponting. Now only Tendulkar, with a mammoth 15,921 Test runs, is ahead of Root, although Ponting is among those who believe the 34-year-old former England captain has time on his side to close the 2,512-run gap to the India great.&nbsp;But Root, who has compiled 21 hundreds since turning 30, is wary of the hype and wants attention turned to the fact England are pressing for a series-clinching win in Manchester at 2-1 up in the five-Test contest.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/manchester-test-no-one-doubted-his-class-ravi-ashwin-lauds-ben-stokes-141-after-what-has-he-achieved-as-a-batter-remark-1753541774916">Manchester Test: ‘No one doubted his class,’ Ashwin lauds Stokes' 141 after ‘What has he achieved as a batter’ remark</a>&nbsp;"It is easy to get caught up in this stuff but at the end of the day, you’re playing against India in one of the biggest series there is," Root told Sky Sports.

IND vs ENG: Helping England win more important than breaking Sachin’s Test runs tally, reckons Root

Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world, where players pour their sweat and grit into representing their nations. Indian cricket hero and legend Virat Kohli once expressed that "representing his country gives him immense joy." Over its 147-year history, cricket has witnessed joy, heartbreak, and an unwavering fighting spirit. Although the game originated in England, Australia has emerged as the most successful team, earning 10 ICC titles, including six ODI World Cups, two Champions Trophies, one T20I World Cup, and one World Test Championship.&nbsp;Throughout this long journey in cricket, many records have been established, some of which are nearly impossible to break.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let’s take a look at 10 of those remarkable records.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/top-five-test-batters-with-most-runs-in-single-over-no-3-has-indian-roots-1753444324551">Top five Test batters with most runs in single over: No.3 has Indian roots</a><h2>1) Murli 800 test wickets</h2>Former Sri Lankan leg-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan holds the record for the most Test wickets (800).

Additionally, Muralitharan has received the most Player of the Series awards (11) in Test cricket.<h2>2) Rohit's 264</h2>India's ODI skipper Rohit Sharma holds the record for the highest individual score in ODI cricket. Facing Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Sharma scored 264 runs off just 173 deliveries. Notably, Rohit holds the record for most hundreds (5) in a single edition of the ODI World Cup.<h2>3) Sachin's most appearances in international cricket</h2>Sachin Tendulkar, one of the greatest players in the history of cricket, has featured in 664 international matches. Virat Kohli is the only active player on the list, with 550 international appearances. However, Kohli will not be able to surpass Tendulkar's records, as he has retired from Test and T20I formats.<h2>4) Jim Laker's 19 wickets in a Test game</h2>England pacer Jim Laker once picked up 19 out of 20 wickets in a Test game against Australia in Manchester. He scalped a nine-wicket haul in the first innings and bettered it with 10 in the second. The remaining one wicket was picked by Tony Lock.<h2>5) Highest score by a nightwatchman in Test cricket</h2>Australia's right-arm pacer Jason Gillespie accomplished an incredible feat by scoring a double century while playing as a night watchman.

Surprisingly, this iconic knock came on his birthday.<h2>6) Sachin 100 international centuries</h2>Sachin Tendulkar, known as the 'God of Cricket,' achieved 100 international centuries in his remarkable career. It seems unlikely that any batter will surpass this unique feat.<h2>7) Dravid's zero golden ducks in Test cricket</h2>'The Wall of Indian cricket,' known for his rock-solid defensive technique, has never been dismissed for a golden duck in his entire Test career. In his 286 innings, he has never returned to the pavilion after facing just one ball.<h2>8) Sir Don Bradman's 99.94 average in Test cricket</h2>One of Australia's greats Sir Don Bradman boasts an astonishing average of 99.94 in Test cricket. In 52 innings, Bradman missed 7,000 Test runs by a mere four runs.<h2>9) Sami's 17-ball over in 2003</h2>Former Pakistan pacer Mohammed Sami bowled a 17-ball over, including seven wides and four no-balls, against Bangladesh in 2004.<h2>10) Lara' 400 in Test cricket</h2>Former West Indies southpaw batter Brian Lara holds the record for highest individual Test score (400). South Africa skipper Wiaan Mulder recently came close to breaking the record, but he declared while he was batting on 367.

Joe Root to Sachin Tendulkar: 7 batters with most Test centuries

England have won the first Test against India in Leeds by successfully chasing a target of 371 runs by losing only five wickets. This was England's second highest run chase in Test history and their second best against India. India struggled due to dropped catches and sudden batting collapses even after being in strong positions in both the innings. The second Test will take place in Birmingham and starts on July 2. Indian captain Shubman Gill will aim for a better result after losing his first match as skipper. Although Indian batters scored five centuries across both innings but still the team could not win.&nbsp;&nbsp;This upcoming Test is going to be very special for one of England best batsman, Joe Root.&nbsp;Joe Root is close to achieving something that no other Test batter has ever done against India. He already holds the record for most Test runs against them and now stands just 73 runs away from reaching 3000 runs.&nbsp;&nbsp;If he scores those runs in the next match in Birmingham then he will surely become the first player in Test history to cross the 3000-run mark against India.&nbsp;Root has always enjoyed playing against India and the stats prove it, he has scored 2927 runs in 57 innings from 31 Tests with an impressive average of 58.54, including 10 centuries and 12 fifties.&nbsp;Root is not just close to only one record but several others records also. He is currently tied with Rahul Dravid for the most catches in Test cricket, both with 210. One more catch in 2nd Test against India and Root will lead that list.&nbsp;And if he scores three more half-centuries then he will move past Sachin Tendulkar’s 68 Test fifties. &nbsp;Also with just 292 more runs he could also rise to second place in the list of all time Test run scorers behind only Tendulkar.&nbsp;Currently, Root has 13087 Test runs and sits fifth on the all time Test run scorers list. At 34, he still has time to break more records.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The second Test between India and England will take place in Birmingham and starts on July 2 at 3:30 pm. Indian captain Shubman Gill will aim for a better result after losing his first match as skipper.

IND vs ENG: Pant equals Tendulkar's HISTORIC feat with twin tons in Headingley Test

Batting giant Sachin Tendulkar has thrown his support behind the new Indian Test captain Shubman Gill to do ‘something special’ on the England tour, starting Friday (Jun 20) at Headingley in Leeds. As Gill embraces his new role, succeeding now-retired Rohit Sharma to become the 37th Indian Test skipper, Sachin asked him to shut all outside doors and pay no heed to all the opinions and noise coming his way. Sachin, who led India across 25 matches during his tenure, advised Gill to back his instincts, follow whatever was discussed inside the dressing room, and stick to the plan.&nbsp;"My advice to him [Gill] would be that he should not worry about what x, y, z is saying," Tendulkar said in a chat with ESPNcricinfo.&nbsp;&nbsp;"His captaincy, whether Shubman is being aggressive, or defensive, or attacking enough, or not a proactive captain, or active captain - whatever that opinion is, it's only an opinion, and it's from outside. I think what he needs to think about is what was discussed in the dressing room - when they are planning something, are they going according to that plan and whether the decision being made is in the interests of the team - that is what he needs to think about and not about the outside world,” he continued.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-end-1st-test-headingley-leeds-preview-shubman-gill-era-begins-as-team-india-launches-quest-for-history-in-uk-1750398005312">IND vs ENG 1st Test, Preview: Shubman Gill era begins as Team India launches quest for history in UK</a> &nbsp;Meanwhile, Sachin also acknowledged how big an honour it is for him (Gill) to captain India in Tests and that he must enjoy this and try and give his best for his country.&nbsp; &nbsp;"The outside world can only give opinions.

I would say, just go out, it's a huge honour, enjoy the moment and give your best for the country and do what is in the interest of the country. Other than that, I would say shut the doors to everything. I think that should be his thought process,” Sachin continued.<h2>Series prediction &nbsp;</h2>Sachin has played plenty of cricket in England. From scoring his maiden Test hundred in Manchester in 1989 to helping India clinch a Test series win on English soil in 2007, the Little Master has seen all.&nbsp; &nbsp;Reflecting on what it was like winning in England against a potent squad, Sachin said everyone contributed to unlocking that massive achievement.&nbsp;As he continued to cherish the memories of that tour, which India won 1-0 (3), Sachin said,&nbsp; &nbsp;"Winning the series was a fabulous, fabulous moment - that is what we strive for. There were multiple good performances by individuals… Zaheer [Khan] played a role. I think everyone coming together and then chipping in at the right time makes a big difference. I still remember we were in the dressing room, celebrating at The Oval, the last Test. These kinds of moments stay with you forever. We're still talking about it 18 years down the line. I hope we're able to do something this series too, so 20 years down the line, we can still talk about it." &nbsp;Meanwhile, predicting the result of the upcoming five-match series, Sachin said, "I have settled for 3-1 to India."

Sachin Tendulkar expects ‘something special’ from India captain Gill on England tour, predicts series scoreline

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has an invaluable piece of advice for Indian batters as they get ready for the first of five Tests against England in Headingley, Leeds from June 20. Tendulkar, who played 17 Tests in England and scored 1,574 runs at an astonishing average of 54.31 with four ton and eight fifties, wants Indian batters to have a 'solid defence' against the England fast bowlers. Such in the inexperience of Indian batters that England batter Joe Root has more hundreds than entire Indian squad combined. India, under newly appointed skipper Shubman Gill, will be hoping to act on Tendulkar's advice.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-1st-test-match-prediction-what-should-india-do-after-winning-toss-and-how-much-is-par-score-1750349099064">IND vs ENG, 1st Test Match Prediction: What should India do after winning toss and how much is par score - check inside</a>"There are three things which one needs to respect: overhead conditions, the wind, and the pitch," he said as reported by ESPNCricinfo. "I feel something that all batters should think about and consider is a good, solid front-foot defence to a fast bowler. If you can defend well on the front foot to a fast bowler, then the rest of the things will fall into place. It is important to keep your hands close to your body, have a solid front-foot defence. The balls which are meant to be hit are, anyway, going to go ahead because they all are attacking players. But the balls which are not meant to be hit, that is when the hands will go away from the body, and a dismissal could cost the game. So a good, solid defence on the front foot is going to be a key factor."Tendulkar also has an advice for Gill and said that he should 'shut the doors' and just focus on what is in the interest of the country."The outside world can only give opinions.
