Root's journey to this pinnacle has been nothing short of impressive. After narrowly missing his previous career-high of 923 rating points while scoring twin centuries against Sri Lanka at Lord's, he faced a dip to 899 points by the end of that series.

However, his remarkable innings against Pakistan, coupled with a world-record fourth-wicket partnership of 454 runs alongside Harry Brook, propelled him back into contention. England declared at an astonishing 823 for seven, ultimately winning by an innings and 47 runs.

Root's achievement places him among the elite of English cricket, just behind legends like Len Hutton, Jack Hobbs, and Peter May, who reached best ratings of 945, 942, and 941 respectively. Hutton's record has stood since 1954, while Hobbs and May's marks were set in the early 20th century.

With his current rating of 932, Root stands at 11th overall in the all-time rankings for English players, showcasing his impressive consistency over the years. Notably, his highest career ranking of 1 was achieved during his peak in 2015, affirming his position as one of the game's greats.
