The England batting line-up is full of stroke players and big hitters and among them, Joe Root brings the stability to the batting line-up. He is a class player who has got all the shots in his arsenal. His ability to rotate strike at will in the middle overs makes him such a consistent player.

Joe Root is having a terrific tournament so far scoring 432 runs at an average of 72. He is 4th in the list of leading run scorers for the tournament with two centuries and three half-centuries in 7 matches so far.

Root’s record against India makes him even more dangerous. His stats in all three formats of the game against the Men in Blue is phenomenal. In 17 ODI matches against India, he has scored 684 runs at an average of 57. His ability to play spin very well makes him a much more dangerous player against India.
