Joe Root remembers ‘strange’ moment with Sachin Tendulkar

A fascinating incident involving Sachin Tendulkar from England’s 2012 tour of India was just brought to light by Joe Root. After seeing the Ahmedabad crowd’s response to Cheteshwar Pujara’s dismissal after the batter had registered a double-ton, the former English captain was left bewildered. Root stated that he became aware of and comprehended his legacy as a result of the applause he received as he entered the stadium.

“When you travel to India and witness [Cheteshwar] Pujara, off camera, he regrettably scored 200 [206] in the opening game. In the second game, he is removed, and the entire audience applauds as Sachin bats. It was strange to see. However, it just serves to highlight the man’s magnificence and his status as a legend. He is among the greatest players the game has ever seen. “It was amazing what he accomplished despite all the pressures he had to bear,” Root said in an interview with Sony Network.

Joe Root, who has moved up to second place behind Tendulkar in the Test run-scoring tally after surpassing Ricky Ponting, talked about his feelings while playing against the maestro.

Once more, that’s someone you wanted to imitate and copy when you were younger. It was an amazing experience to play against him as well, Root continued. “I mean, he made his Test debut before I was born, and you find yourself playing in a Test match against him.”

Regarding Root’s most recent effort, in the first innings of the Manchester Test, his 150 (248) helped England reach 669. His 144 and 142-run partnerships with Ben Stokes (141 off 198) and Ollie Pope (71 off 128) were crucial in helping his team take a sizable lead.
