Joe Root on becoming England's most successful Test captain: Living my boyhood dream

Joe Root is proud to have surpassed Michael Vaughan to become England's most successful captain in Test cricket and credits his teammates and coaching staff for his achievement.

Joe Root hailed his players and praised those who have delivered for him time and time again after surpassing fellow Yorkshireman Michael Vaughan to become the most successful England captain in Test cricket. England hammered India by an innings and 76 runs in the third Test to level five-match series at 1-1 and earn Root his 27th Test win as skipper. Root has now broken Michael Vaughan's record for the most Test wins as England captain. Vaughan had won 26 Tests as captain of the team between 2003 and 2008.
