Joe Root, England's cricketing stalwart, has declared his dedication to supporting Test captain Ben Stokes, highlighting their bond forged during his captaincy period.

Root, who has been averaging 56.67 post-captaincy, sees scoring runs as the best way to repay Stokes's earlier support. Speaking on the team's environment under the tutelage of Brendon McCullum, Root emphasized the deeper strategies embedded in their aggressive playstyle termed 'Bazball.'

With an upcoming challenging series against India, Stokes will rely on Root's bat, crafted with vigor and intent, to bring triumph. Despite India's slightly revamped side, the intense competition promises high-octane matches, with key absences heightening excitement and focus.
