Root has proven he belongs to Fab Four league: Hussain

TIL Desk Sports/ Joe Root has dispelled any doubts regarding his position in cricket’s ‘Fab Four’ alongside Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith by conjuring up three centuries in consecutive Tests, reckons former England skipper Nasser Hussain.

The England Test skipper has been in sparkling form this year after enduring a lean patch in 2020, where he failed to reach the hundred-run mark. After, scoring 228 and 186 in Sri Lanka last month, the 30-year-old struck a fine century in the series-opener against India, to make his 100th Test even more memorable.

“It’s fitting that Joe Root proved he’s a true great by scoring a hundred in his 100th Test,” Hussain wrote in his column. Hussain said Root analysed his game during the coronavirus induced break last year and is now reaping the benefits.
