The England skipper has been in sensational form recently which is quite evident by the way he has been playing against India in the ongoing first Test in Chennai. In the recently concluded two-match series against Sri Lanka, Root scored a double century which was followed by a century. Root continued his form in the opening match against India and went on to score his 5th double hundred with a maximum.
