England's big win at Headingley has come in for a lot of praise from netizens on Twitter.
England crushed India by an innings and 76 runs in the third Test and that gave Root his 27th win as captain in 55 games.
England tied the five-match series 1-1 by taking eight wickets for 63 after India had reached 215-2 Friday while trying to erase a 354-run deficit.
Resuming from 215/2, India lost wickets in quick succession to be bowled out for 278 before lunch.
His latest knock took his year's tally of runs to 1398 and within 390 runs of the aggregate of Mohammed Yousuf, who holds the record for most number of runs in a calendar year with 1788 runs.
Runs came thick and fast for England in most parts of the day as the Indian bowling unit appeared toothless at Headingley, both with the old and new ball.
Root, who scored his third successive hundred of the ongoing series, put his side in the driver's seat after they bundled out India for a partly 78.
India stuck to the same "template" of four fast bowlers and one spinner, sidelining R Ashwin from the set-up and keeping Ravindra Jadeja in the mix.
While India registered a memorable 151-run win at the home of cricket to go 1-0 up in the five-Test series, players of both teams were seen exchanging verbal volleys.
