Can Root be an all-time run-getter in the test?

If Root can hold the current form of his batting and play 4-5 more years, many greats think he will surely be the most run-scorer of all time. Though there was much possibility for Sir Alastair Cook to achieve that milestone, Cook took retirement at 33. The possibility of top run-scorer over Tendulkar is waving at Root. Now It’s Root’s legacy to be on the right track to get that title.
