Ben Stokes Hails Joe Root
Joe Root’s side completely dominated the Indian side in 3rd test match and with that win, he becomes the most successful captain of England. Micheal Vaughan had a record of winning 26 matches while Root has surpassed by winning one more than that. England had some great captains like Sir Allister Cook, Micheal Vaughan, and Andrew Strauss but Joe Root is taking down all the records.
It’s been 4 years since Joe Root is captaining the England side and his batting performance was affected in the start but he later started converting his fifties into hundreds. Although there is a debate there Root needs to win an Ashes series to be the greatest Test captain ever.
