NEW DELHI: Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott praised seasoned batter Joe Root's technical finesse and precision in batting, comparing his style to a rapier.
Boycott's comments come after Root surpassed Alastair Cook to become England's all-time leading run-scorer in Test cricket, following a magnificent 262 in the team's innings-and-47-run victory over Pakistan at Multan. This innings not only secured the win but also ensured that Root achieved over 1,000 Test runs in a calendar year for the third consecutive time.
