England's Joe Root, currently at the peak of his career, is being tipped as a strong contender to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's all-time Test records. With Root completing 151 Test matches, let's look at how the two batting icons measure up at this stage of their illustrious careers.

Harry Brook replaces Joe Root as world’s top-ranked Test batter - Root has described his England team-mate as ‘by far and away the best player in the world at the minute’.

England’s Harry Brook has officially dethroned his teammate Joe Root to claim the No. 1 spot in the ICC Test batting rankings.

England star Joe Root says he considers Harry Brook to be the finest batter in Test cricket. As of last week, England boast the two top-ranked batsmen on the planet in Root and Brook, with the latter on the rise off the back of his 171 in the opening Test against New Zealand in Christchurch.

Tendulkar’s away record is equally stellar, with 6,821 runs at an average of 53.70 in 87 Tests. His performances in challenging conditions against the best bowlers further cement his legacy.

Joe Root's recent performance has solidified his status among the 'Fab Four', placing him fifth in all-time Test run scorers. He has amassed 12,886 runs and is 492 runs shy of Ricky Ponting's record.
