England batter Joe Root became only the seventh player in Test history to score 12,000 runs, reaching this landmark during the third
Test against the West Indies at Edgbaston on Saturday.
Root achieved the milestone when he reached 62 runs with a four off Alzarri Joseph on the first ball after Lunch on Day 2. The former skipper teamed up with current captain Ben Stokes to rebuild England’s innings with a hundred-plus partnership for the sixth wicket. The hosts had been reduced to 54 for five within 12 overs in pursuit of the West Indies’ first-innings total of 282.
Root recorded his 95th Test fifty-plus score during the innings, the sixth highest among all batters. Interestingly, Root is the second youngest batter behind compatriot Alastair Cook to reach 12,000 Test runs, completing the feat aged 33 years and 210 days. Former India captain Rahul Dravid was the oldest batter to cross the mark at 37 years 339 days. Root also eclipsed West Indies batting legend Brian Lara’s tally of 11,953 runs during his knock.However, Root is not the quickest to the landmark; instead, he finds himself towards the bottom of the list with only Cook behind him in the club.
