Joe Root is going to be the most important batter for England on the India tour. The experienced batter has played a total of 10 Test matches at the Indian soil. Furthermore, the classy batter has also smashed a Test double-century against India in India.

However, Root has failed to score a half-century in his previous seven innings in India. He would have to score runs from the very first game this time around if England are looking to recreate the history. He will be the pillar of England’s batting and the rest of the batters will play around Joe Root.
