Root eyes legends

In the Edgbaston Test, Root will be eyeing Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis.

Run tallies

Root has 13,0087 runs in Tests while Dravid and Kallis have 13,288 and 13,289 respectively.

What Root needs to do

Root has to score 203 runs at Edgbaston to go past both Dravid and Kallis.

Jump in position

If Root does manage to score the 203 runs needed he will jump to No. 3 on the overall list for most Test run-getters.

Ponting on Root's radar

If not at Edgbaston, Root should be able to surpass Ricky Ponting by the time the series ends and become Test cricket's second highest run-scorer.

World record and milestone

Edgbaston could see Root break Dravid's record of most Test catches as he needs just one to make the record his. He also needs 73 to become 1st to score 3000 Test runs vs India.
