A tweet Joe Root posted about Sachin Tendulkar over 11 years ago resurfaced as the ex-England captain became the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket, trailing only Tendulkar. "Sachin made his debut for India before I was born, then played in my Test debut. #ThankYouSachin," read the tweet posted by Root on the occasion of Sachin's retirement on November 14, 2013.
