Joe Root enters record books, goes past Sachin Tendulkar in major milestone

Joe Root achieved a notable batting milestone by surpassing twenty-three thousand total international runs during a fixture against Sri Lanka. Requiring 521 innings to reach this landmark, he eclipsed the previous benchmark held by Sachin Tendulkar, who took 522 innings.

Root also stands as England's top run-getter in international fixtures, a status he maintains despite his One Day International efforts often receiving less attention. In the same fixture, England secured a comfortable victory by 89 runs, fueled by a solid 67-run contribution from Harry Brook and a stellar bowling performance by Will Jacks, who claimed five wickets for 22 runs.
