LEEDS: Joe Root is raring to utilise his revel in batting against spinner Kuldeep Yadav in limited-overs cricket all the way through England's upcoming Test collection with India.
But Test captain Root made it transparent one of the crucial largest lessons he had learnt from a one-day global series-clinching hundred at his Headingley home ground on Tuesday was by no means to repeat his peculiar birthday party.
When the Yorkshire batsman hit the winning boundary that both took him to exactly 100 no longer out and clinched an eight-wicket win with 33 balls to spare that saw England seal a 2-1 luck in a three-match collection, he dropped his bat.
It was an echo of the 'mic-drop' finish of set regimen favoured by rock stars and comedians, and a long way got rid of from the standard cricket gesture of elevating the bat to acknowledge a hundred.
"It was something that I immediately regretted," mentioned Root.
"I've not heard the end of it, it was literally the most embarrassing thing I've done on a cricket field. I don't think it will be the last I hear of it from the group -- they've been hammering me," he added of the response of his England team-mates.
Far extra encouraging for England was the return to form of Root, who had struggled against Kuldeep, who as a left-arm wrist-spinner is a rarity in global cricket.
Kuldeep had Root stumped by MS Dhoni for a duck in the first Twenty20 at Old Trafford and then snared him lbw for simply 3 all the way through India's eight-wicket victory in the ODI collection opener at Trent Bridge ultimate week.
Root was no longer the only home batsman to battle against Kuldeep, with the bowler's surprising return of six for 25 in Nottingham the most efficient by any spinner against England in ODI cricket.
But it was a unique tale at Lord's on Saturday, where Root's 113 no longer out saw England to an 86-run win that levelled things up at 1-1 prior to his nationwide record 13th ODI hundred completed a come-from-behind 2-1 win in a three-match collection.
England could face Kuldeep in Test cricket too after he was included Wednesday in India's squad for the first 3 fixtures of a five-match collection that begins at Birmingham's Edgbaston ground on August 1.
Root, talking prior to India unveiled that squad, mentioned he'd long gone again to basics in understanding methods to play Kuldeep rather than use the Merlyn spin-bowling system for observe.
"I didn't use Merlyn on this occasion. I looked at the three balls I faced and got out to -- one thing that's very easy to do is over-analyse things, over-think things," Root defined.
"I felt like I was choosing him (Kuldeep) nice and whilst you look at it for what it if truth be told was, both games my actions weren't fast enough and I wasn't getting close enough to the ball, both going ahead or again.
"The best possible gamers of spin on the planet, their footwork is always sharp and when that contact point is there, you are as still as imaginable," added Root, who said his training regime was "actually under-arm feeds, trying to get as regards to the ball, simple as that and the state of mind of both giving myself as much time as imaginable or smothering the spin."
England, who in limited-overs cricket are captained by Eoin Morgan, at the moment are number one in the ODI scores and among the favourites to win subsequent yr's World Cup on home soil.
But they're fifth in an identical International Cricket Council Test desk crowned by India.
Root steered the Test aspect to observe the England one-day crew's need for person and collective development, which was fuelled partly by a woeful first-round go out at the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
"It's one thing we are attempting actually laborious to copy within the Test crew," Root mentioned.
"Hopefully over time, and it is not one thing that can occur in a single day, we will see big improvements long-term within the crew," added the 27-year-old, now second in the most recent ICC ODI batting scores, behind India captain Virat Kohli, revealed Wednesday.
"It's about putting the laborious yards in and doing that further bit of work and sometimes doing the stuff that does not always make you're feeling just right however in the long run will make you a better participant."
