Joe Root is one of the finest modern-day cricketers. Known for his classical batting style, the former England captain has been a pillar of the English Test team for years.
Root’s technique is built on solid fundamentals, a straight bat, nimble footwork, and the ability to play both pace and spin equally well. He is often regarded as one of the best players of spin in world cricket.
In an era of aggressive batting, Root continues to be the flag-bearer of elegant strokeplay. Whether it is the traditional cover drive or the delicate late cut, his batting is a treat to watch. Along with his technical brilliance, his temperament and adaptability make him a world-class player across formats.
MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli? Joe Root reveals his pick
Meanwhile, in a fun video posted by Rajasthan Royals, Joe Root was asked a cheeky question: whether he likes playing under MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli. Root, without a moment of hesitation, replied, “MS Dhoni.”
Well, who wouldn’t? Every cricketer across the globe loves playing under MS Dhoni. He is the epitome of cool and calm leadership. His composed nature under pressure, sharp cricketing brain, and immense respect in the cricketing world make him one of the most loved captains ever.
MS Dhoni is a legend in every sense of the word. Known for his astute captaincy, lightning-fast wicketkeeping, explosive batting, and those iconic helicopter shots, his legacy is unmatched.
He is the only captain in cricket history to win three ICC trophies – T20 World Cup 2007, ODI World Cup 2011, Champions Trophy 2013
Even after stepping down from captaincy in 2017, Dhoni remained an invaluable part of the Indian team as a wicketkeeper-batsman. His last international match came against New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup semi-final. He formally retired from all forms of international cricket on August 15, 2020, via an emotional Instagram post.
