New Delhi: Jos Buttler said on his YouTube channel For the Love of Cricket that Englands legendary batsman Joe Root has no desire to break Sachin Tendulkars record. In the Manchester Test Root overtook Ricky Ponting to take second place in the list of players who have scored the most runs in Test cricket. Now Root is only behind Sachin (15921) with 13409 runs. Buttler said - this is not his way of playing Buttler said He does not want to break Sachins record because he does not play cricket like this nor does he think from this perspective. He just enjoys cricket. Buttler also said that if Root stays fit this achievement is completely achievable. Has scored 21 centuries after Covid Buttler praised Roots form and said He has scored 21 centuries since Covid. He is in the best form of his life and it is wonderful to watch him play. Stuart Broad expressed concern Former fast bowler Stuart Broad asked Do you think he will be able to make this record? He is 34 years old and will soon be 35. Many players struggle with form or fitness at this age. To this Buttler replied I think things are going in Roots favor. Roots strength is love for cricket Buttler said Root has never been a player who feels disillusioned with cricket after 2-3 years. When England won only one Test out of 17 and he was the captain he still played well. He further added He does not think about records. He just likes to play and win for England. It will be interesting to see whether he stays at number 2 or reaches number 1. Roots magic will be seen in the Oval Test The fifth and final Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will start at The Oval from Thursday. Everyones eyes will be on Root to see if he plays a big innings again.
