England's all-rounder Joe Root, who scored 100 and 40 runs in the recently concluded Lord's Test against India, is all set to break Sachin Tendulkar's historic Test record. If England manages to win the upcoming Test against India, Joe Root will become the 10th player in the world with the most wins in the format. With the win at the iconic Lord's, Root equalled Tendulkar in the elite list of most wins in Test cricket. Both Root and Tendulkar now have 72 victories to their name in the red-ball format of the sport and are joint 11th on the list.
