Joe Root was named the ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of 2021 on Monday. In 2021, Root scored 1708 runs in 15 matches, including six centuries, and was the lynchpin of England’s batting. Joe Root’s sublime form in 2021 can be summed up by one simple statistic: he is only the third player in history to score over 1700 runs in Test cricket in a calendar year. Only Mohammad Yousuf and Sir Vivian Richards stand between him and the throne.

Whether in Asia or at home, against a variety of bowling, Root has almost conquered all with some sublime innings. His knocks in Galle against Sri Lanka, and against India in both Chennai and Lord’s, are among the best seen in the modern era, and will be remembered for a long time. He has also contributed 14 wickets with the ball, including a five-for in Ahmedabad.

Root’s 218 in the opening Test of the four-match series against India in Chennai was a batting masterclass. He easily swatted away a quality bowling attack, both pace and spin. This was a continuation of his form from the series in Sri Lanka, where he was once again sensational.

The Indian bowling attack had no answers for Root’s conundrum. As he batted for 377 deliveries and set up a 227-run victory for the visitors. This was also a foreshadowing of what was to come for the rest of the year, as England’s captain delivered knock after knock of the highest caliber, regardless of the opposition.
