When the rest of the innings was closer to 200, yes. He dragged down the run rate overall.
Ok you could argue it was better to send Bairstow in today. If someone is setting an all time fastest 50 at one end, then yeah everyone else looks slow. What do you want a fresh record every innings ...However Root is no plodder in T20.

Today's top seven batsman's strike rates in T20 internationals....
Hales - 137.82
Buttler - 136.80
Roy - 136.07
Morgan - 132.68
Root - 129.45
Bairstow - 121.63
Ali - 112.84
I'd never have said Root scores eight runs fewer per 100 balls than Hales but there you go.
Absolute shambles there from Joe Root. Needs dropping from the T20 team pronto....
For those who didn't see it, first ball, plays forward defensive to a leg spinner and misses the ball. Dhoni behind the stumps fumbles the ball, takes an age to get it under control and still has time to knock the bails off with Root way out of his crease, barely bothering to get back in.

Can’t believe they’re actually going ahead with this nonsense.
“There will be no six-ball overs in the 100-balls-a-side cricket tournament to be introduced in 2020. In the radical new format ten balls will be bowled from one end, followed by ten from the other — with nine changes of end in an innings.
Each bowler can bowl up to 20 balls in total but the ten balls from each end can be bowled either by one bowler or two bowling five each — and it will be for the captain to decide”
