Don't matter. Root can score zero runs in Australia now but he will still break SRT's record.I hope so.
Hopefully he will go past Sachin .
Root has 8 Test centuries at the Home of Cricket, Lord's. Tendulkar has a big fat ZERO.
There's no doubt.
Tendulkar's worse crime in Cricket was scoring centuries against Kenya and Namibia, and celebrating like there was no tomorrow. Another discussion for another day, but Tendulkar took minnow bashing to new lows.
So what should he have done when he found out that the next game is against Kenya and Namibia?
At least he brings the much needed sunshine into your erstwhile existence
Root is Cummins Bunny. Cummins got him twice in third test .

You are the one who constantly cried and cried that when Sachin scored 100s in Aus it without McGrath or whatever. And yet Root scores one single 100 without Cummins and you are celebrating?
What is in it for Pakistanis? Apart from jealousy ofcourse.
I am a fan of cricket first.
Root can break the test record and he still will never be the face of cricket.
PCB will gift Root 1000 test runs next year in England alone.If Root plays for 4 more years, he should break it.
Maybe even earlier.

The plight of Sachinistas will be over before Amreeka elect their 48th President.
Every cricketing board must be thinking of gifting a few runs to Root - except for BCCI - cos no one outside of India respects Tendulkar, thus want Root to break the record.England is also scheduled to play Bangladesh. Maybe Bangladesh can gift him 500 runs also.
I don't mind if BD lose badly. I just want Root to break Tendu Pendu's record. It is for greater good.

Forget Bangladesh. Actually, he has bashed India like no other player in the history of the game. Every time he plays them he lays the smackdown.England is also scheduled to play Bangladesh. Maybe Bangladesh can gift him 500 runs also.

Smith has long surpassed Tendulkar and could finish as the greatest batsman after the Don.
Really?Says who?
Root has over 13,000 Test runs. Root has performed well everywhere. He is the who is close to breaking Tendu's record; not Smith.
Looks like Indians are trying very hard to discredit Root. Very silly.
Tendulkar has record in both Red and white ball cricket. It is taking multiple players in modern generation to break his record in installments - Kohli in ODIs centuries, Root in total test runs (if he gets there). SO unless a single player manage to surpass Tendulkar all his records, he will forever be the second best batsman after Sir Don.
13 years at the top and no ICC trophy to show for it. Nothing more to add. Best batsmen, best bowler, richest board - but got nothing to show for it. The story of India's life.Indian players are all about quantity over quality.
If Sangakara played as many games as Tendulkar did, Sangakara could've surpassed Tendulkar by 5000 runs.
The thing with India is they get to play a lot more games than most other countries (they literally control ICC). It helps with records I guess.

Travis Head has surpassed Tendulkar alone in centuries in winning causes!
He also faced some absolute dross, but was also too scared to face the 2Ws in the 90s.
India couldn't win a WC at home at the epicentre of the cult in 2023.I don't count CT 2025. It was a farce from the beginning till the end.
Even 2024 World T20 final was farcical. Umpire gave Miller out when it should've been a six.
India can't win a trophy without rigging things I guess.
They rated him highly based on low sample, plus 2 Ws have bigger hearts!
The King of soft runs? Tendulkar was the Emperor of soft runs!Tendulkar was a statpadder. He was the king of soft runs.
Rohit and Kohli were bigger match-winners than Tendulkar.
Anyway, Root is better than all Indian batters in Test format (both past and present).
I don't think Starc is better than Wasim.
So, Starc breaks Wasim Akram’s record for most Test wickets, yet he is still not considered a better bowler than Wasim—even though both have bowling averages in the 20s.
Hard to believe that, despite nearly 14,000 Test runs, Joe Root has zero red-ball centuries in Australia.
If you want to call someone the best batsman, they must perform across all formats. By that measure, Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman of all time. He performed at the highest level in both formats, consistently, for over 20 years, and accumulated the records to prove it.
Read the post again and again untill you understand.Root scored a century in this Ashes.
2nd Test.
Hey your Sachinista brethren were undermining Root's Test career cos he never scored a century in Australia. Now Root has, your brethren claim Root needs to score 6 Test centuries in Australia before being compared with Tendulkar.
Dhawan was better than Smith in Odis.
Lords is a stadium, Australia is a whole friggin continent. Use your brain for once.
