Joe Root - England Cricketer

Height: 1.83 m DOB: December 30, 1990

Right from a young age, Root displayed tremendous maturity to acclaim himself to be a leader of the lot. However, along with the authority, came a heap of responsibilities. He remained consistent but started receiving constant criticism for poor conversion rate of century from a fifty.
