Dinesh Karthik Sees Joe Root Breaking Tendulkar's Test Record, Doubts Kohli's Century Milestone
Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik expressed confidence that England's Joe Root has a good chance to break Sachin Tendulkar's Test runs record of 15,921, citing Root's consistent performance and England's frequent Test schedule. Conversely, Karthik considers it very hard for Virat Kohli to reach 100 international centuries, noting Kohli's retirement from Tests and T20Is and the number of innings required to achieve this milestone. Kohli recently became the second player to reach 15,000 ODI runs and aims to win his last ODI World Cup.
