#2 Joe Root
The English Test captain, who had a prolific series against India in 2014, is a balanced player across formats. One of the stylish stroke player England would ever see, Joe Root's only concern going into the series would be his T20i form, where he struggles to rotate the strike more often.
In the recent 2018 player auction, Root went unsold. The 27-year-old batsman has been in sublime form in recent times. Whenever England face India, Root is amongst the runs.
Last time when these two teams met in England, Joe Root was the top scorer. This time when India tour England, Root has an additional responsibility of being a captain
Joe Root's Overall performance:
ODI: Matches- 110, Runs: 4,452
Test: Matches- 69, Runs: 5,960
T20I: Matches- 26, Runs- 778
