Joe Root hit a brilliant century in the first innings.

New Delhi. In the very first Test of the Ashes series between England and Australia (ENG vs AUS), a close fight is being seen. The England team, which suffered a crushing defeat from Australia in the last Ashes series, has shown its different attitude this time. In the first innings, the English team put a mountain score of 393 runs in front of the Kangaroo team. Joe Root played an important role in helping the team reach this score, who was criticized in the last Ashes. Not only this, Joe Root had to lose his captaincy as well.
This time the former captain has started settling the previous score with Australia from the first test itself. He played an unbeaten innings of 118 runs in the first innings and pushed Australia on the backfoot. Root selectively beat the same bowlers who were seen dominating him last time. Australia fell 7 runs behind the English team in the first innings. Now that the England team has come out to bat for the second time, Root once again took the Australian bowlers. But unfortunately, he was just 4 runs away from his half-century, meanwhile Root tried the soupla shot of Team India’s 360 degree batter Suryakumar Yadav. He missed the first time in Scott Boland’s over, but in the second reverse, Root hit a six over the keeper. This video of him has gone viral on social media.
