Joe Root builds his dream striker using the skills of other stars; Virat Kohli seizes a special place
England striker Joe Root has created his version of a “perfect strike” by combining the qualities of players through international cricket. The 34 -year -old striker has ignored legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Alastair Cook while making his choices, and the video quickly caught the attention of fans on social networks.
The old Skipper of England was in exceptional form in the tests. Root should be a central figure in the ashes, from November 21 in Perth, while the team hopes to win their first test victory in tests in Australia. The right -handed striker played for the last time for England in an ODI series at home against South Africa.

Joe Root and the heritage of Fab Four
Joe Root shared the modern scene with some of the greatest cricket strikers. Over the years, he has played alongside Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith, a group that fans and experts have celebrated like the “Fab Four”. The tag was invented for their score capacity in all formats.
