England batter Joe Root has become the eighth-highest run-getter in international cricket. The right-handed batter achieved this milestone during the third ODI against Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Monday.
Root's first major test challenge this year would be the five-test series against India, starting on Friday in Leeds. But after that, from late November onwards, he will be featured in the away Ashes in Australia, aiming to win their first away series against arch-rivals since 2010-11. Durin
