It was class, wasn't it? Just the genuine joy of seeing him back playing Test cricket. Taking that wicket, making things happen," said Root.

"I personally think that if you want to keep getting the ball changed then each team gets three challenges every 80 overs and that's it"

England batter Joe Root has proposed a rule for ball changes during a match as he took a sly dig at Team India amid the Dukes ball controversy. Meanwhile, Sunil Gavaskar has criticised the poor quality of the balls.

Joe Root suggested that if a team wants to get the ball changed, then they should only do it once in 80 overs. He also took a dig at the Shubman Gill-led Indian team, accusing them of wasting time and slowing the game down.

Jasprit Bumrah has achieved a huge record in international cricket after dismissing Joe Root in the first innings of the third Test at Lord's. Bumrah removed Root after the English batter had reached his 37th Test century.

India had raised concerns after the second new ball was replaced just 10.3 overs into its use. Jasprit Bumrah had taken three wickets in his first 14 deliveries with the original ball, but India failed to take any more wickets during the session,

Root anchored the innings with a composed 104 off 199 balls -- his 37th Test century -- while No 9 Brydon Carse (56) and keeper-batter Jamie Smith (51) staged a crucial lower-order fightback as the last three England partnership was worth 84 runs.

Apart from cricket, brand endorsements and franchise leagues have significantly contributed to Joe Root's financial success.
