What is Joe Root’s bowling style?
Joe Root is an occasional right-arm off-spinner. Root spins the ball extremely sideways and even possesses a fifer in Test cricket, despite only being regarded as an infrequent spinner.
Normally going around the wicket and wide of the crease, Root’s round-arm motion makes for an uncommon challenge for the opponents. Bowler Root has demonstrated that he can get good Test batters out with his finest ball. He averages 32.1 against left-handers in Tests, down from 64.9 versus right-handers. In many different ways, his bowling might quietly influence England’s attack.
