IND vs ENG / Jaiswal has a chance to create history, he can break Dravid-Sehwag's record

IND vs ENG: The second match of the five-match Test series between England and India will be played at the historic ground of Edgbaston, where Indian team opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will have a golden opportunity to achieve a special feat. This match is important not only in terms of the lead in the series, but also in terms of the possibility of adding another name to Indian cricket history.

Close to the fastest entry into the 2000-run club

Yashasvi Jaiswal has so far scored 1903 runs in 20 Test matches at an average of 52.86. That is, he is just 97 runs away from completing 2000 runs in Test cricket. If he scores this score in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test, he will become the batsman to complete 2000 Test runs in the least number of matches for India.

At present, this record is in the name of India's 'Little Master' Sunil Gavaskar, who crossed this figure in 23 Test matches. Jaiswal has the opportunity to break this record within two Test matches, so that he can set a new milestone in Indian cricket history.

In the race for the record in terms of innings as well

Apart from matches, the list of Indians who scored the fastest 2000 runs in terms of innings is topped by Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag, who achieved this milestone in 40-40 innings. Sunil Gavaskar had completed 2000 runs in 44 innings. Jaiswal has played 38 innings so far, and if he scores 97 runs in the first innings at Edgbaston, he will leave all these legends behind and make this record in his name.

Great batting in Leeds Test, but poor fielding was in the news

Jaiswal scored a brilliant century in the first innings in the Leeds Test, which strengthened his confidence. But on the other hand, his fielding was criticized a lot. He dropped a total of five catches in both innings, due to which he was also trolled on social media. His bat did not work in the second innings and he was out after scoring just 4 runs.

Edgbaston Test: Time to shine under pressure

Now all eyes are on Edgbaston, where Jaiswal has a chance to prove himself as a complete Test player. While on one hand he can create a historic record with the bat, on the other hand he will also have an opportunity to rectify past mistakes in fielding. This match can prove to be a turning point in his career.
