Joe Root Saves Matthew Hayden’s Face, Now Sachin Tendulkar’s Daughter’s Friend Trolls Her Dad

New Delhi: Joe Root finally scored a Test century in Australia, ending a long wait since his first match on Australian soil in 2013. On the first day of the Ashes Day-Night Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, Root reached 135 runs by stumps, rescuing England from 5/2 early in the innings.

Saving Matthew Hayden from a Dare

Before the Ashes series, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden made a bold statement: if Joe Root failed to score a century in the series, he would run naked at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). With Root’s century, Hayden has been spared from this embarrassing challenge.

Social Media Fun: Hayden’s Daughter Joins the Troll

As soon as Root reached his century against fast bowler Scott Boland, Hayden’s daughter Grace Hayden took to social media to poke fun at her father. On her Instagram story, she posted a photo with the caption:
“Root, thank you, you saved all our eyes!”

Grace Hayden and Sara Tendulkar: Close Friends

Grace Hayden is a close friend of Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The duo is often seen together on road trips and visits to theme parks. Grace is also a sports anchor and social media influencer, with nearly 600,000 followers, and is quite active online.

Root’s brilliant century not only boosted England’s innings but also created a light-hearted social media moment, proving that cricket can entertain both on and off the field.
