Is Joe Root the best test and ODI batsman in the world right now? If not, who is?

Yes, combined he definitely is. Steve Smith is probably his equal in test cricket when on it, likewise Kohli can swing a game on his own in ODI’s. But Root overall for me.

Right now, yes. So consistent and the fact England rely so heavily on him only backs this point up more

He is defo up there. If Jaiswal and Pant played more ODI stuff, they would be up there. Gill is in the convo, but Root is better at Test level. The other one that springs to mind is Smith. But I still prefer Roooooooooooot.

Without doubt. Plenty of other top players but Root is in a league of his own 🏏
