England cricketer Joe Root is currently one of the most dominant batsmen in test cricket, with a remarkable record of 12,972 runs in 152 test matches at an average of 50.87. He has also scored 36 centuries and 65 half-centuries, making him a strong contender to break Sachin Tendulkar's test record of 15,921 runs. Root's performance over the past few years has been impressive, with 5613 runs in 63 test matches at an average of 54.49, including 19 centuries and 20 half-centuries.

Root's consistent performance has put him in a strong position to break Tendulkar's record, and he is currently just 2,950 runs away from achieving this feat. With England playing a significant number of test matches in the coming years, Root will have ample opportunities to close the gap and potentially break the record. His fitness and form suggest that he can continue to play test cricket for several more years, making him a serious threat to Tendulkar's record. The test cricket landscape is changing, and Root is one of the key players driving this change with his exceptional batting skills and consistency.

Here are the top 5 batsmen with the most runs in test cricket:

• Sachin Tendulkar (India) - 15,921 runs

• Jacques Kallis (South Africa) - 13,289 runs
• Rahul Dravid (India) - 13,288 runs
• Joe Root (England) - 12,972 runs

The list of batsmen with the most centuries in test cricket is also dominated by these players, with Tendulkar leading the way with 51 centuries, followed by Kallis, Ponting, and Root. The competition for the top spot is fierce, but Root's current form suggests that he has a strong chance of breaking Tendulkar's record in the near future.
