Root, however, hasn’t played a single game in the IPL but his T20I stats are enthralling as in 32 games he has scored 893 runs at an average of 35.72 and a strike rate of 126.31. If he puts his name in the auction, it is likely that many teams who lack the anchor option will bid for him.

That's how English cricketers plan & work towards achieving their goals.

Joe Root is actually one of the best T20 players on the planet and I will happily die on this “hill” if it even is one. Insanely underrated in that format. https://t.co/YSocITMc8m
