Joe’s poor form in the IND vs ENG Test series continues. The star batter for the visitors yet again had another disappointing outing in Vizag. Jasprit Bumrah cleverly trapped Root dismissing him for mere 5 runs on Day 2 of the IND vs ENG Test match.
The former England skipper has been in rather lacklustre form in red ball cricket. His last 50+ score came in July 2023 against Australia in the Ashes. Though England has barely much Test matches since, but his poor form with the bat is surely a big concern for the tourists.
In the 3 innings while facing India, Root has managed to score 29,2 and 5 respectively in 3 innings. This is bad news for the Three Lions given they face a crisis in the middle order. India’s ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah cleverly dispatched the batter with a devilising outswinger.
Joe Root has a poor record against Jasprit Bumrah. The star English batter has been dismissed by Bumrah 8 times in 20 innings.

England will be banking on the Fab 5 batter to regain his red hot form very soon. While the openers have given England good starts, the visitors relied on individual brilliance to win to the previous Test. Even in terms of bowling in the Vizag Test, Root was not successful in scalping a solitary wicket.
With India seemingly having an upper hand in this tie, England will hope their key player finds his rhythm soon to go all guns blazing against Rohit Sharma and Co.
