Phil Salt sees no reason why Joe Root cannot overhaul Sachin Tendulkar as Test cricket's all-time run scorer. (More Cricket News)
Root surpassed Alastair Cook to become England's all-time top Test run-scorer as he mounted his highest score in the format in the first Test of their ongoing series with Pakistan.
England achieved a historic Test milestone during that encounter, recording the highest innings score in the longest format this century (823-7), and the fourth-highest of all time.
They also became the first team to win a test by an innings after conceding more than 500 runs in the first innings.
Root now sits in fifth on the all-time leaderboard, with Rahul Dravid (13,288) next in his sights, though fellow England international Salt believes the 33-year-old can go beyond Tendulkar's 15,921 runs.
"I think he will. I can't see a reason why not, so yeah, I think he will," Salt told Stats Perform.
Salt also believes that Root's commitment to the cause is what makes him so special, citing his work ethic as a key contributor to his success.
"There are a lot of things, the list could go on. I think with Root, his work ethic sets him apart," Salt added.
"He's always hitting balls, he's always thinking about how he can get better. You don't spend as much time as he has at the top of your game without that work ethic.
"So, if there's something that sets him apart, I'd say it's that."
Salt also showered praise on Harry Brook, who plundered 317 in Multan.
Brook's knock바카라 웹사이트was England's first triple century since 1990, with Graham Gooch the last to reach the 300-run mark.바카라 웹사이트
His innings in Multan also placed him alongside바카라 웹사이트Andy Sandham, Len Hutton, Wally Hammond바카라 웹사이트and Bill Edrich, all of whom have scored triple centuries for England.바카라 웹사이트
Brook, along with Root, also바카라 웹사이트smashed the highest partnership in바카라 웹사이트England라이브 바카라 Test history on day four of the first Test in바카라 웹사이트Pakistan,바카라 웹사이트posting a stand that was finally broken at 454.
In doing so, they broke a 67-year record when they passed Peter May and Colin Cowdrey라이브 바카라 partnership of 411, made at Edgbaston in 1957.
And Salt believes Brook has the potential to follow in Root's footsteps.바카라 웹사이트
"Yeah, he's brilliant. Obviously, he's a brilliant batter, Brookie. We all know that, in all formats. It comes as no real surprise to me, to be honest, seeing how he trains," Salt said.바카라 웹사이트
"I played against him a fair bit in the summer and played with him a lot more. It comes as no real surprise to me.
"Obviously, it's a hell of an achievement, but I think the two lads we're talking about—Ruti and Brookie—are very special players."
Salt also considered Brook could lead England in the future, saying:바카라 웹사이트"I think so, yeah. I think he's got a very good head on his shoulders.
"I don’t have a crystal ball, but I certainly think he's capable of doing it."
