Joe Root smashed his 10th century since January 2021 as England put on a commanding batting display at Trent Bridge on Sunday. The century was also the 27th of career, the most by an active men’s cricketer, alongside Virat Kohli and Steve Smith. And while Root has hit a purple patch, both Kohli and Smith have struggled, having not reached three figures since November 2019 and January 2021 respectively.

Most Test centuries among active cricketers

  • Virat Kohli – 27
  • Steve Smith – 27
  • Joe Root – 27*
  • David Warner – 24
  • Kane Williamson – 24

The effort on Sunday also took him one ahead in the list of all-time leading run-getters in Test cricket, surpassing the legendary Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar, who was the first to breach the 10k Test runs mark, had amassed 10,122 in his career, while Root’s 163* at the end of Day’s play took him to 10,178. The former England captain will hope to make merry of the conditions on offer when he resumes on Monday, with former Australian captains Steve Waugh and Alan Border ahead in the list.
