Cook was hit on the groin while fielding in the slip cordon during an Ashes Test match against Australia in 2015, and Root, who was fielding next to him, was splits looking at Cook. ‘What goes around, comes around,’ Cook added.

After that blow, the former England batting great stated that he is fine because he has two children. Cook also quipped that he had no idea how Root is recovering from the punch.

“I’d like to believe that what goes around comes around. However, I was unaffected. Since then, I’ve had two children. “I’m not sure how Rooty is right now,” Cook stated, according to The West.

It was not the best of times to get hit: Travis Head

Following Root’s groin injury. Australian cricketer Travis Head said that the Aussies were ordered to give the England captain some room. Head finished by calling the injury “unfortunate,” noting that Root was in peril with Starc rushing in.

“We were urged to keep our distance since he needed some space, so we did.” Obviously, he had a hard morning (on Sunday), and Starcy (bowling) on that line is never pleasant. Travis Head stated, “Unfortunately, with the day he’d had, it wasn’t the best time to get hit.”
