Many fans and cricket pundits are tipping the current world No.1 Test batter to surpass Sachin&#8217;s record for most runs and most centuries in red-ball cricket.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Former England captain Michael Vaughan took the discussion to the next level by saying Root breaking Tendulkar&#8217;s record will benefit Test cricket. But Indian cricket fans, including the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, questioned Vaughan&#8217;s comments saying how it will be good for cricket.<\/p>\n<p>Root, 33, recently surpassed big names Kumar Sangakkara, Brian Lara and Shivnarine Chanderpaul in Test runs tally and also equalled Gavaskar&#8217;s 34 centuries record. With 12,402 runs, Root is still 3,519 runs behind Sachin&#8217;s record tally in Test but has been in Sensational form with almost 1000 runs in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Gavaskar countered Vaughan&#8217;s comments saying how it would benefit cricket if the\u00a0Englishman held any record over Indian.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recently, I heard someone saying it would be good for Test cricket if Joe Root overtook Sachin Tendulkar\u2019s record for most runs and centuries in Test match cricket,&#8221; Sunil Gavaskar wrote in his Sports Star column.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Please tell us what\u2019s wrong with Test cricket presently when Tendulkar is owning the record and how will Test cricket be better if (and that\u2019s a huge if) an Englishman goes on to hold it. In what way will it be better? Kindly enlighten us.    <\/p>\n<p>The former cricketer also hit out at the &#8216;false narrative&#8217; by overseas media showing\u00a0India not playing a role in the promotion of Test cricket. Gavaskar pointed out the number of Tests India are playing each season and termed the narrative as a &#8216;ridiculous notion&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For some strange reason, there\u2019s a perception overseas that BCCI does not like Test cricket.\u00a0That\u2019s a ridiculous notion, as India play more than half a dozen Test matches every season, be it at home or away. Just because the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/ipl\" rel=\"noopener\">IPL<\/a> is massively successful doesn\u2019t mean BCCI is not interested in promoting Test cricket, but that\u2019s the narrative that\u2019s being peddled by the overseas media,&#8221; Gavaskar added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/kindly-enlighten-us-sunil-gavaskar-slams-michael-vaughan-s-comments-on-root-breaking-tendulkar-s-records-2024-09-12-951833\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY Sachin Tendulkar and Joe Root share 28,324 Test runs together Joe Root chasing Sachin Tendulkar&#8216;s all-time records in Tests has been the hottest topic in cricket after the English star smashed two centuries in a match against Sri Lanka at Lord&#8217;s.
