Current top 10 batsmen and their most feared bowlers
Some of the top batsmen have also struggled while facing certain bowlers.
7. Joe Root
Joe Root has already carved a niche for himself as one of the greatest batsmen to wield the willow for England. The right hander has scored close to 8000 runs in Test cricket, and is also the second highest run scorer for England in ODI cricket, after Eoin Morgan. Root has scored over 30 centuries in international cricket and is a colossus in his own right.
Now, who has troubled arguably England’s greatest modern-day batsman? One look at the numbers tell us that Root has found the going tough against Australian pacer Pat Cummins in Test cricket. In the 19 innings that Root has played against Cummins, he has been dismissed on 7 occasions. Apart from Cummins, even Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon have dismissed the England Test skipper 7 times each.
While Hazlewood has dismissed Root 7 times in 24 innings, Lyon has dismissed him the same number of times in 42 innings. Root will next be seen in action in the ODI series against South Africa.
