England captain Joe Root has retained his fifth double century of his Test career while maintaining his brilliant form on the Asian continent. His innings helped England score 550 against India with two wickets remaining. The 30-year-old batsman completed his double century with a six off off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the second innings of the second day. His innings were so special that the Indian staff at the team’s hotel arranged a nice cake for them after the match. The ECB was also very happy with this sentiment of the Indians.

IND vs. ENG: In the 100th Test, double century, Joe Root defeated former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq at this event.
The ECB shared the video on its Twitter account. This involves returning to the hotel for the route, where the cake is placed near the gate. All the players and people out there are cheering them on this time. The ECB also thanked Indian staff for this. Root became the first cricketer in the world to score a double century in the 100th career of his career as he scored a double century in the match at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
In addition, he has surpassed former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq for the highest score in the 100th Test, scoring 184 against his 100th Test Team India in Bangalore. Root’s 377-ball 218-run marathon innings ended with left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem’s LBW. It was the fifth double century of Root’s career. With this, he equals veterans like exile Alastair Cook, South Africa’s Graeme Smith and India’s Rahul Dravid, who all have the same number of binaries.
