Add article description

Joe Root is an English cricketer and former captain of the England Test team.[1][2][3] Described by his compatriots Eoin Morgan and Alastair Cook as the "most complete batsman" England has ever produced,[4][5] Root has played 139 Tests, 171 One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 32 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), scoring 31 Test centuries (100 or more runs in an innings) and 16 ODI centuries as of February 2024.[6]

Joe Root has scored 47 centuries for England.

Root made his Test debut in December 2012 and scored his first century the following year when he made 104 against New Zealand at Headingley. In July 2013, he became the youngest English player to score an Ashes century at Lord's when he made 180 in the second Test of the home series against Australia.[7] His innings earned him the man of the match award and ensured England's victory.[8] Root's performance during the 2013 season led to him being named as one of the five Cricketers of the Year by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 2014.[9] He went on to score three more centuries the same year, including a double century (200 not out) against Sri Lanka at Lord's. His highest score of 254 came against Pakistan in July 2016.[10] Root became the first cricketer to score a double century in their 100th Test, scoring 218 against India at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai in February 2021.[11] As of February 2021, Root has scored centuries against seven of the other eleven Test-playing nations;[lower-alpha 1] he has been most prolific against India, scoring ten centuries against them.

Root scored his first ODI century in 2014 against the West Indies. His 16 centuries in the format are the most by an English player.[12] His centuries—scored at thirteen different venues—have come against seven different opponents. His highest ODI score of 133 not out was made against Bangladesh in June 2017. Root has played 32 Twenty20 International (T20I) matches since his debut in December 2012.[6] He is yet to score a century in the format; his 90 not out against Australia in August 2013 remains his highest score.[lower-alpha 2] As of February 2024, Root ranks joint-eleventh among cricketers with most centuries in international cricket.[14]
