This is like the ‘magical stick’ of Joe Root

Hosts England won the Lord’s Test against New Zealand. Former captain Joe Root has played a key role in that victory. Ben Stokes’ team has also won thanks to his century. So, the new chapter of new captain and coach in English cricket started with a remarkable win.

However, Root did not spread fascination only by just scoring runs in this match. He also showed magic on the field with the bat. Root was then unbeaten on 87 individual runs, standing on the non-strike edge. Kiwi pacer Kyle Jamieson was running with the ball, then, it appeared that Root does not have the bat. Instead, his bat is standing straight by the side of Root.

Such an event is really wonderful! Visitors may wonder, how is that possible? That’s why the video of the incident immediately spread through social media. This has come to the center of the discussion among the audience. Some even said that Root really knows magic!

But in the end, the mystery of this magic has been revealed by the cricket correspondent of the English daily Evening Standard, Will Macpherson. In a tweet, he said the bottom of the bat is usually slightly curved. However, this was possible because it was perfectly flat at the Root’s bat.

The English star also took himself to a unique height on the day of winning the team by scoring a century. Root has touched the 10,000-run mark in Test cricket. Again, at the youngest age (31 years 157 days). In this white jersey, Root almost outran Alastair Cook.
