#5 Hit: Joe Root
One of England’s best players and among the fab four of world cricket, Joe Root proved again why he is one of England’s most reliable batsmen. Root came in at No.3 after Bairstow provided a solid opening burst.
Root continued his form from the previous ODI and scored his second consecutive century seeing his side through.
The Yorkshire man played according to the situation and nudged away singles with ease. The most impressive thing in the innings was his reading of Kuldeep Yadav which settled a few doubts about him playing against spin.
Root being back in the form is a very good sign for England cricket as he is their mainstay in the test matches as well.
