Joe Root becomes 4th player in history to score 1600 Test runs in a calendar year.

England skipper Joe Root etched his name in history books on Saturday 18 December 2021. The right-handed batter became only the fourth player to score 1600 Test runs in a calendar year. He picked up the feat on the third day of the ongoing Second Ashes Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval.

Root is only behind Mohammad Yusuf (1788 runs in 2006), Viv Richards (1710 in 1976), and Graeme Smith (1656 in 2008) to score the most runs in a calendar year.

Joe Root currently stands with 1606 runs with a second inning left in Adelaide and also the third Test to follow this year in Melbourne.
