Joe Root continues to show why he is one of the best players in Test cricket as he scored his 33rd century in the format. The classy right-hander got to the mark on Day 1 of the England vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test 2024 at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground on August 29. Root got to the mark off 162 deliveries, hitting a total of 13 fours. With this century, he has matched Sir Alastair Cook, who too had scored 33 centuries in Test cricket in his career. Root for the record is the world's top-ranked Test batter and such performances will help him further cement that spot.
