IND vs ENG: When the Indian cricket team takes the field in Birmingham on Wednesday to play the next match of the Test series against England, all eyes will once again be on Yashasvi Jaiswal. The rhythm in which this young batsman is, has thrilled both cricket lovers and experts. Jaiswal's batting has been excellent, especially against England, and now he has a chance to leave behind a legend like Sir Don Bradman in a special record.Jaiswal and England: A special relationshipIn his Test career so far, Jaiswal has scored a total of 1903 runs in 38 innings of 20 matches, including 5 centuries and 10 half-centuries. His average is around 52. The special thing is that out of these, he has scored 817 runs against England alone. This is the reason why his confidence against England is seen at a different level.817 runs in 11 innings so far, very close to Bradman's recordDon Bradman had set the record for the fastest 1000 Test runs against England (in just 13 innings). Jaiswal has played 11 innings so far and has scored 817 runs. That is, he needs only 183 more runs to break Bradman's record, and that too in two innings. If he crosses this figure in the first innings itself, he will become the batsman to score 1000 runs faster than Bradman.On the verge of creating historyIf Yashasvi Jaiswal scores 183 runs in the first innings of the next Test itself, it will make him very special in cricket history. If he scores these runs in both innings combined, he will at least equal Bradman's record, which is a great achievement in itself.An important turning point for Team IndiaHowever, it is also important that Jaiswal's innings contribute to the team's victory. In the last match, he scored a brilliant century, but failed to lead the team to victory. Now it will be interesting to see how decisive his batting proves to be in India's victory this time.
