Earlier this year, Root became the first active cricketer to score 10,000 Test runs. He is the second Englishman to get past the 10,000-run mark after Alastair Cook (12,474). Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis, Rahul Dravid, Cook, Kumar Sangakkara, Brian Lara, S Chanderpaul, Mahela Jayawardene, Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Sunil Gavaskar, and Younis Khan are the others to have reached this feat.
