Joe Root's Test Against Mighty Indian and Aussie Attacks Looms Large

Joe Root's post-captaincy form will face challenges in upcoming series against India and Australia. With 10 centuries in 54 innings, he surpassed Alastair Cook as England's top Test run-scorer. His technique against leading bowlers will be crucial in these series where Root aims for a century in Australia.

Joe Root's remarkable form since stepping down as England captain is set for a rigorous test, with upcoming series against India and Australia posing challenges to his acclaimed batting prowess. Australian cricket great Ian Chappell anticipates thorough scrutiny of Root's technique as he faces both pacers and spinners.

Having scored 10 centuries across 54 innings, Root has surpassed Sir Alastair Cook as England's highest Test run-scorer. He is poised to take on some of the strongest opponents in Test cricket, first at home against India and then during an away Ashes series in Australia. These series will test his capabilities under the microscope, with his handling of both pace and spin under close examination.

With the England team currently embroiled in a series against Pakistan, Root's leadership on the technical front is vital. He must also address his struggle to score a Test century on Australian soil—a challenge highlighted by Chappell, who suggests that Root reassess his game against the backdrop of Australian pitches.
