Team India’s young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is making the ongoing India vs. England Test series more interesting with his batting excellence. He has been in amazing form till the beginning. He made two consecutive double centuries and crossed multiple milestones. Recently, he equals Virat Kohli’s record of scoring most runs in a bilateral series against England.Â
Yashasvi’s Excellent Form:
In the ongoing series against England, Jaiswal has been on an extraordinary streak, showcasing exceptional talent and skill. His blazing start in Hyderabad with a formidable 80 runs set the tone for India’s dominance. Building on this momentum, his monumental 209 in Vizag laid a solid foundation for India’s triumph, followed by another remarkable double century in Rajkot, further bolstering India’s lead in the series.
With this outstanding feat, Jaiswal joins an elite club, becoming only the third Indian batsman, after Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli, to achieve back-to-back double hundreds in Test cricket. His consistent performance has not only elevated him to prominence but also solidified his position as a key player in the Indian lineup.
Furthermore, Jaiswal’s exceptional run has rewritten the record books, making him the Indian batsman with the most runs after 8 Tests, accumulating an impressive total of 971 runs. This places him in esteemed company, trailing closely behind the legendary Don Bradman, who held 1210 runs during the same phase. With an astounding average of 93.57 in the ongoing series, Jaiswal’s meteoric rise promises a bright future for Indian cricket.
Jaiswal Touches Kohli’s Record:
Yashasvi Jaiswal is making history in the ongoing series, putting his name alongside Virat Kohli in Indian cricket records. In a stellar performance, he has matched Kohli’s record for the most runs by an Indian batter in a bilateral Test series against England. The Ranchi Test saw Jaiswal needing just 37 runs to equal Kohli’s milestone of 618 runs, originally set during the 2016-17 series when England toured India. With this remarkable achievement, Jaiswal is on the brink of etching his name in the annals of Indian cricket history, showcasing his exceptional form and skill on the field.
In the upcoming Test in Dharamshala, the Indian opener, Yashasvi Jaiswal, has his sights set on a significant milestone. He aims to become the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar to reach the 700-run mark in a bilateral series. Additionally, Jaiswal has his eyes on surpassing the records set by Graham Gooch and Joe Root, who currently hold the first and second positions for the most runs scored in a single India vs. England Test series. Gooch achieved a remarkable 752 runs in 1990, while Root secured 737 during the 2021–22 series in England. Jaiswal’s quest for these milestones adds an exciting narrative to the upcoming match, as he seeks to leave his mark in the history books of Indian cricket.
