Vaughan Questions if Root is Better Than Tendulkar

According to the news report, former England captain Michael Vaughan has expressed his opinion that Joe Root, the current England batter, is not yet a better player than the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Vaughan made this statement while answering a series of rapid-fire questions, some of which were controversial and related to Indian cricket.

Root, who is 34 years old, remains the closest to Tendulkar's Test runs total of 15,921 runs, having scored 13,543 runs in 158 Tests with an average of 51.29. However, Vaughan firmly believes that Root has not yet surpassed Tendulkar's greatness, stating "Not yet" when asked if Root was better than the Indian icon.

Vaughan also shared his views on the performance of the Indian cricket team over the past 12 months. He believes that India has underperformed in Test cricket during this period, despite having a large pool of talented players. Vaughan acknowledged that the team has not played at the top level in the last year, but he is confident that they will start winning in the future.

The numbers support Vaughan's assessment of India's Test cricket performance. Since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach in July 2024, India has won only 5 out of the 15 Test matches played, losing 8 and drawing 2.
