After the defeat in Hyderabad, Team India now hopes to make a comeback in Visakhapatnam. The second test against England is to be held from 2nd February and Team India has already started preparations for it. But let us tell you that the England team has also geared up to shock Team India in the second match. The players of the England team are practicing in a different way. Especially a video of Joe Root’s practice is going viral on social media which is really surprising.
Root became left hander
The video of Joe Root practicing in Visakhapatnam is going viral in which he is batting as a left hander. Although Root is a right-handed batsman, he seems capable of batting with the left hand also. Root is standing as a left-handed batsman in practice and then he is playing reverse sweep.

Trouble with left arm bowlers
In the first test, Joe Root looked very troubled by the left arm spinners. He was dismissed by Jadeja in the first innings. Now left-arm spinners can be used against them in the second test also and Root can be seen standing at the crease as a left-handed batsman to deal with them. If Root did this, he would probably be the first player to bat in this style on Indian soil.
Root is a big threat to India
Even though Joe Root did not bat in the first test, believe me, this player is a big threat for Team India. In Test cricket, he has scored maximum 9 centuries against India. His average against Team India is more than 60. In India too, he has scored 2 centuries with his bat. Apart from this, his bowling is also a cause of trouble for the Indian batsmen. Now, the kind of batting practice that Joe Root has been seen doing will surely raise lines of worry on the forehead of Rohit and company.
