Joe Root eclipses Rahul Dravid again by breaking Indian legend’s Test record for most outfield catches
England cricket star Joe Root isn't only a batting great. He also holds a record in Test cricket for catching after snaffling Karun Nair with a stunning one-handed grab in the third Test against India at Lord's on Friday (July 11, 2025).
Root has 211 catches in the longest format, the most for an outfielder after breaking a tie with retired great Rahul Dravid.
Standing in his usual position at first slip, Root dropped to his left to make the one-handed catch just before the ball was going to hit the ground.
