Joe Root, one of Test cricket’s Fab 4, has not been very active in T20 cricket of late. Freed from the England Test captaincy charge now, Root is working towards a T20 renaissance. Not our words, but Root the same. Root has been out of the England team in T20 for more than 3 years. Also, Root was not sold once in the IPL auction when he entered the group in 2018. Root did not look back in the league after that. However, as it seems, Root not only looked back, but also earned a spot on a team. Not just any team, but the runners-up of IPL 2022.
