How Many Tests Does Joe Root Need To Beat Sachin Tendulkar's Most Runs Record?
Joe Root has surpassed Dravid, Kallis, and Ponting to become the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket. How many Tests does he need to go past Sachin Tendulkar? Joe Root is on a record-breaking spree and the biggest record left for him is India great Sachin Tendulkar's for most runs ever in Test cricket — 15,921. On Friday (July 25), he became the second-highest run-scorer in the format with 13380 runs, going past Rahul Dravid (13288), Jaques Kallis (13289), and Ricky Ponting (13378) in the same innings of 121* (201), at Tea in the fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford. The question begs itself — can Root be the one to break Tendulkar's currently 12-year-old record, which many thought would never be touched, which Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and several other greats couldn't come even close to? If he can, how many Tests would he need to do so and etch him at the top of the world? It's difficult to say exactly, but Root has averaged 89 since the start of 2024, and according to CricViz (a sports analytics company), if he maintains that rate, he will need only 29 more Tests to pass Tendulkar and become the format's leading run scorer. Considering England play at least a dozen Tests every year (they played 17 in 2024), he'd need about two and a half years to reach the feat. To put how quick Root is in context, the 17 Tests in 2024 yielded 1556 runs for him. Of course, this is the best-case scenario. Apart from the difficulty of maintaining a purple patch like this for that significant period, Root would also need to keep himself fit. He's 34 and will turn 35 this December, and though he's fit, it'll become progressively arduous for him to maintain fitness, just like Tendulkar, Kallis, and Ponting also faced. However, Tendulkar played 200 Tests, and Ponting 168, while Root is still at 157. Ponting's prediction for Root's records Earlier in the day, Ponting had tipped Root to break his record. He was also asked about the Englishman's chances of going past Tendulkar. 'There's still a fair bit to go," Ponting told ICC. 'What is he, 35? Doesn't look like his passion for the game is going anywhere. His run-scoring passion has probably gone up over the years. Can he chase down Sachin? Let's see. He might as well do that," he added.

Indian-Origin Man Leaves Google After 16 Years, Finds Microsoft ‘Refreshing'
Last Updated: Amar Subramanya got the opportunity to talk to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. In a major push to strengthen its Artificial Intelligence capabilities, Microsoft has hired 24 researchers, developers, and product specialists from Google DeepMind over the past six months. Among the notable recruits is Amar Subramanya, former technical head of Google's Gemini chatbot, who has joined Microsoft as Corporate Vice President of AI. His new role was confirmed through a recent LinkedIn post. In his LinkedIn post, Amar Subramanya expressed excitement about his new role and praised Microsoft's work culture, describing it as 'refreshingly low ego yet bursting with ambition." As Corporate Vice President of AI, his responsibilities will include enhancing Microsoft's AI offerings, such as Copilot and Bing. 'Super excited to share that I've started a new position as Corporate VP, AI at Microsoft AI," Amar Subramanya wrote in his LinkedIn post. 'After only one week in my new work, I'm already feeling extremely energised. The culture here is surprisingly humble yet bursting with aspiration."

Not just this, Amar also got the opportunity to talk to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. As soon as the post was shared, several LinkedIn users congratulated Amar on his new journey with Microsoft.

They are lucky to have you!" Another one wrote, 'Awesome!!!! Congratulations, Amar." A person shared, 'Congrats! They're very fortunate to have you on the team." Other Recruits Apart from Amar, according to a report by Financial Times, other notable hires include Sonal Gupta (engineering lead), Adam Sadovsky (formerly senior director at DeepMind), and Tim Frank (product manager), who have all taken on leadership roles as Microsoft expands its AI division. Microsoft Layoffs This hiring comes at a time when Microsoft has laid off over 15,000 employees over the past two years. Despite the workforce reduction, the company continues to double down on artificial intelligence, with significant investments in tools like Copilot and automation. Internally, Microsoft has been urging employees to upskill in AI, with leadership emphasising that integrating AI into daily work is no longer optional but essential.
