Joe Root is probably the only bloke in our team who could have done that knock: Zak Crawley
Meanwhile, England star cricketer Zak Crawley heaps praise on star batter Joe Root. Notably, Joe Root hammered the magnificent hundred on Day 1 of the fourth test, which helped his side stand in the dominant position. The 26-year-old cricketer talks about how great it is that Joe Root steps up at the crucial time against India.
"He (Root) is unbelievable. We fully expected him to get a good score at some point in this series; he was due, he's the best player we've ever had and he played phenomenally today. He deserves everything he gets, he works so hard at his game and he always comes good. Joe Root is probably the only bloke in our team who could have done that knock; he's that good, he's our best player and he's stepped up when we needed him to. We needed him to get a score and he got a score like he's done for so many years now, he's a phenomenal player," Zak Crawley said after the day's play.
