New Delhi: Cricket history has seen many great players, but there are a select few names that will never be forgotten. You must have heard the name of the former great Indian batsman and Master Blaster, Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin Tendulkar needs no introduction; he is the benchmark against whom many players are compared.
His records are such that only a few players are expected to break them. Meanwhile, England all-rounder Chris Jordan recently made a significant statement in an interview with CricTracker. In a special conversation, he spoke openly about England’s ‘Bazball’ strategy and Joe Root’s prospects of breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s Test cricket records. Jordan also named the player he believes has the potential to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record.

Jordan’s Big Statement
Chris Jordan spoke openly about the possibility of breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record. He believes that Joe Root has everything it takes to stay at the top for a long time. He said he sees no reason why Root cannot surpass Sachin Tendulkar’s Test runs in the future.
He mentioned that he knows Joe Root personally and that his mindset, hunger for hard work, and desire to constantly improve set him apart from other players. These are the qualities that have allowed Joe Root to perform brilliantly for so long.

Jordan further added that Root has faced many challenges in his career. The fact that he hadn’t scored a century in Australia was a long-standing issue for him. He overcame this in just a few matches in this Ashes series. According to Jordan, this spirit and determination are what give a player a long and successful career.
Defending the Bazball Strategy
While discussing England’s current Ashes series, Chris Jordan made a significant statement. He also defended the ‘Bazball’ strategy. He said that it is wrong to assume that the strategy has completely failed simply by looking at the scoreline. According to Jordan, there were several sessions in each Test match where England put pressure on Australia and even gained the upper hand in the match on several occasions.
