English batsman overtook Rohit Sharma, not Joe Root, but this player did wonders
World Test Championship: New records are being made every day in the Test series being played between Pakistan and England. Batting first in the Multan Test, Pakistan made a huge score of more than 550 runs, after which the England team is also giving a befitting reply. England’s opening batsman Jack Crowley batted brilliantly for his team. He could not complete his century, but what happened was that due to his excellent innings, he went ahead of Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma. We are talking about the World Test Championship here.
Jack Crowley played a brilliant innings
If we talk about the history of the World Test Championship i.e. WTC, the batsman who has scored the most runs is Joe Root. He has scored more than five thousand runs so far. The special thing is that he is the only batsman to score more than five thousand runs in this championship. No other batsman has been able to complete even four thousand runs till now. Meanwhile, England’s Jack Crowley played an innings of 78 runs on 85 balls in the Multan Test against Pakistan and during this time he went ahead of Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma has scored the most runs for India in WTC
Rohit Sharma has scored 2594 runs so far in the World Test Championship. If we talk about Jack Crowley, he has now managed to score 2638 runs in his name. However, there are a lot of batsmen between Joe Root and Jack Crawley. Rohit Sharma is the batsman who has scored the most runs for India in the World Test Championship. The rest of the batters are behind them. The interesting thing is that three Test matches will be played during the Pakistan vs England series, which means Crawley has a chance to increase the lead from Rohit Sharma. But this month Rohit Sharma will also enter the field for the Test series against New Zealand.
These batsmen are still ahead of Rohit
If we talk about the second batsman after Joe Root to score five thousand runs in the World Test Championship, then there is Marnus Labuschagne, who has scored 3904 runs so far. Steve Smith is at third place in this list after scoring 3486 runs. Ben Stokes has scored 3101 runs and Babar Azam has scored 2755 runs in the WTC so far. Usman Khawaja also has 2686 runs. After this come the names of Jack Crawley and Rohit Sharma, whose runs we have already told you about.
