Rooting for Consistency: Joe Root Preps for India Clash

England batsman Joe Root emphasizes consistency against India in the upcoming Test series. Root, who holds the record for England's all-time highest Test runs, aims to build on his recent Champions Trophy performance. Despite past setbacks, he remains focused on the challenges ahead, including the Ashes series.

England's seasoned batter Joe Root is calling for consistency as the key to counter India in the forthcoming five-Test series, asserting, "there's no hiding place" against such a formidable opponent.

India begins their 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle in England, with the opening match at Headingley scheduled for June 20. Root, who last year became England's highest Test run-scorer, is preparing for the challenge after a strong Champions Trophy performance.

The former captain, who led from 2017 to 2022, emphasizes the need to deliver match-winning performances. Despite a disappointing Champions Trophy, where Root excelled individually, he remains confident about England's potential moving forward and is set on focusing on both the India series and the Ashes.
