English Test skipper Joe Root on Tuesday introduced the cricket world with ‘mic-drop’ celebration after scoring his second consecutive century against India in the third and last One day International (ODI) at Leeds.

On Tuesday, at Headingley, the 27-year-old English cricketer celebrated his century by dropping his bat – the bat drop, like stand-up comedians and musicians do the mic-drop and Root’s celebrating instantly went viral on the social media. However, Root is already regretting his celebration claiming that “It’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve done” on the cricket field.

“I don’t think it will be the last I hear of it from the group – they’ve been hammering me,” Root added.

Speaking to media about the incident, Root said, “It was something that I immediately regretted,” adding, “I’ve not heard the end of it, it was literally the most embarrassing thing I’ve done on a cricket field.”

Joe Root was not in good form during the shortest format of the game as he was dismissed at the score of 0 and 9 in the first two T20I match against India before getting dropped in the last game. However, Root turned it around at Lord’s in the second ODI with 113*. Root backed his century with another hundred in the final ODI in and helped England in winning the series 2-1.

Speaking about his failure in the first three games, Root said, “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,” adding, “I felt like I was picking him (Yadav) fine and when you look at it for what it actually was, both games my movements weren’t quick enough and I wasn’t getting close enough to the ball, either going forward or back.”

“The best players of spin in the world, their footwork is always sharp and when that contact point is there, you’re as still as possible.”

“It’s something we are trying really hard to replicate within the Test team,” Root said. “Hopefully over time, and it’s not something that will happen overnight, we’ll see big improvements long-term within the group.

“It’s about putting the hard yards in and doing that extra bit of work and sometimes doing the stuff that doesn’t always make you feel good but ultimately will make you a better player.”
