#4 Joe Root (England)
It is difficult to imagine a more fearsome batsman than Joe Root when in full flow. Root is considered among the best batsman to have played for England. Root is often been compared with the former England captain Michael Vaughan, for his batting style. He is one of the rare breeds of batsmen who have both the ability to bat an entire day and save a Test match, as well as play a blistering knock in a T-20 game when needed.
Root has scored most of his runs coming to bat at no. 3. England's Test captain has scored 4,800 runs in 116 ODI matches he played for England, in which he has 13 centuries. He has a total of 26 centuries in the international arena.
