Can Jaiswal beat Gavaskar’s 774 record in the fifth test between IND and ENG at Dharmashala?

Without a doubt, Jonny Bairstow and Ravichandran Ashwin, who will be playing their 100th game in the longest format, will be the center of attention in the fifth and final Test, which is scheduled to start on Thursday. The result of the game will also be eagerly anticipated at this charming stadium in the shadow of the snow-covered Dhauladhar hills since WTC points are still up for grabs despite the series being settled 3-1 in favor of India. However, more attention will be paid to Yashasvi Jaiswal, 22, the youthful opener for India. Throughout this series, he has been in incredible form and has dominated the news. He’s adapted to Test cricket like a duck to water, scoring an incredible 971 runs in only eight games. Now, he might gain further fame with another successful hit.

fastest to 1,000 meters

With 1,000 Test runs, Jaiswal may become the quickest Indian ever. In only 14 innings throughout 12 Tests, Vinod Kambli has accomplished this. This will be Jaiswal’s ninth Test match, but his fifteenth innings overall—one more than that of his Mumbai-based fellow left-hander. Jaiswal also has a chance to make history by becoming the second Indian player to score more than 700 runs in a single Test series. The only other Indian to do so is the renowned Sunil Gavaskar, who accomplished the feat twice, both times losing to the West Indies (1970–71 when he made his debut series there, and 1978–79 in India). In the Dharamsala Test, Jaiswal had to score 120 runs to surpass Gavaskar’s incredible 774 runs against the West Indies in 1971. Gavaskar was removed cheaply (1) only once in the series, having scored 65, 67*, 116, 64*, 117*, 124, and 220 in four Tests. Jaiswal’s scores in this order are also quite impressive: 80, 15, 209, 17, 10, 214*, 73, and 37.

After hitting 73 runs on the second day of the fourth Test in Ranchi, Jaiswal became only the seventh hitter in Indian history to amass 600 or more runs in a Test series. In the current series, he has collected an incredible 655 runs at an incredible average of 93.57. This also includes back-to-back double hundreds in Rajkot and Visakhapatnam, a feat previously only accomplished by Virat Kohli (twice) and Kambli. With 12, Jaiswal also tied the record for the most sixes in a Test innings.

exquisite temperament
Cricket fans have been struck by the young Mumbai opener’s character and promise more than his records. His captain, Rohit Sharma, has commended his commitment, genuineness, and diligence while expressing a preference to avoid placing unnecessary pressure on him. “I want to avoid talking about Jaiswal too much. His career has gotten off to a great start. I hope he keeps doing it. Following a record-breaking victory in Rajkot, Rohit had observed, “He looks like a good player who is here to stay.”

Some believe that a child may suffer from receiving too much attention and praise. They use Kambli, a cricketer from Mumbai, as an example, who had a similarly amazing start to his Test career but fell short of his promise.

Jaiswal, meanwhile, seemed to be in excellent shape in the nets on Tuesday at the HPCA Stadium.
