England have evolved their batting approach in recent times under their coach Brendon McCullum, who believes in a more aggressive approach even in the longest format of the game. However, one batter who stayed firm on a more technical approach was Joe Root, the most legendary Test cricketer of this generation.
During a recent interview with The Athletic, Joe Root heaped praise on Sachin Tendulkar, pointing out his longevity in the game of cricket. He reflected on the fact that the question that is asked of him the most often in recent times is about him chasing the Indian legend's record.
Root claimed that Sachin was a star for India and had made his debut even before Root was born, and went on to play in Root's debut game against India. This was a reflection on the fact that Tendulkar's legacy transcended generations.

Root acknowledged that, saying, "All the while, he was the most famous man in India. Serious, serious player." However, Root's humility shows why he is often regarded as one of the greatest players of this generation and one of the best sportsmen of the decade.
