Joe Root - England's 'most complete batsman ever'

Joe Root is the "most complete batsman" England has ever produced, according to Twenty20 captain Eoin Morgan.

The Yorkshireman, 25, hit a match-winning 83 off 44 deliveries as England chased 230 to beat South Africa by two wickets at the World T20 in India.

"He's incredible," Morgan told BBC Sport. "It was a monumental innings.

"His class and composure, knowing he can play as if it was a 50-over game or Test, without changing his game a great deal, gives us huge confidence."

What makes Joe Root so special is he uses all areas of the ground. A perfect example of this is his wagon wheel for his innings against South Africa.



The audacious reverse paddle sweep off Chris Morris to bring up his 50 is one of my favourite shots of the tournament so far.

I don't think that people can argue that Root is the real deal and he's certainly a player that is the future of English cricket. I just hope that he can keep the consistency yes been showing lately and go on to prove how good he is in the statistics that will go down in writing.
