Root's Technique Faces Ultimate Test Against India and Australia
Joe Root's batting skills will be critically evaluated during the upcoming cricket series against India and Australia. Despite impressive performances, including surpassing Sir Alastair Cook's Test run record, Root's ability to manage both pace and spin will be tested. His struggles in Australia, particularly against extra bounce, remain a focal point.

Joe Root's stellar form post his England captaincy is set for a rigorous examination in upcoming Test series against India and Australia, according to Australian cricket veteran Ian Chappell.
Root, with 10 centuries in 54 innings, has emerged as England's highest Test run-scorer, overtaking Sir Alastair Cook. Chappell asserts the forthcoming series against India, followed by the Ashes in Australia, will challenge Root with the world's best bowling attacks.
England faces significant hurdles as it seeks to regain the Ashes, while also facing India's formidable spin attack. Root's technical prowess will be vital, yet his vulnerabilities, particularly in Australia, where he's yet to score a century, must be addressed.
