IND vs ENG / Jaiswal is so many runs away from creating a historic record, will he break the record?

Yashasvi Jaiswal is performing brilliantly for India in Test cricket. After scoring two double centuries against England and a century in Australia, there are expectations from him in England as well. He is 202 runs away from completing 2000 runs and can break the record of Sehwag-Dravid.

IND vs ENG: Young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has emerged as the backbone of the Indian Test team in the recent past. Whenever he got a chance, he has proved himself. He had expressed his intentions by scoring two double centuries in the home series against England. Then he also showed his technical strength by scoring centuries on the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia. Now all eyes will be on his performance on the England tour, where the team management will once again expect a big innings from him.

Just 202 runs away from creating history

Jaiswal has played 36 Test innings for India so far and has scored 1798 runs. If he scores 202 runs in the first three innings against England, he will become the batsman to complete 2000 runs in the least number of innings in Tests for India. So far this record is in the name of Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag, who touched this figure in 40-40 innings.

Superb stats, strong technique

Jaiswal, who made his Test debut in 2023, has caught everyone's attention with his batting in a very short time. In 36 innings of 19 Tests, he has scored 1798 runs with 4 centuries and 10 half-centuries. His patience and ability to stay on the pitch make him suitable for long innings. Once set, it becomes difficult for bowlers to get him out.

Has a special record against England

Jaiswal has scored 712 runs in 5 Tests against England so far, including two double centuries. His best score has been 214 runs. It is clear from this that he is not only comfortable against England bowlers but is also aggressive. This experience can be of great use to him on foreign soil.

Possibility of opening with KL Rahul

The opening slot has become vacant after Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket. In such a situation, the pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal can open the innings for India. In this team full of young players, Jaiswal will also have to shoulder the responsibility of scoring runs and giving a solid start to the team.
