Yashasvi Jaiswal is about to set a new Test record for India

To put it mildly, India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal has been outstanding in the current Test series against England. In six innings, he has already scored 545 runs at a 109 average and an 81.10 strikeout percentage. The left-hander also broke records for fun in the third Test, with his second straight double-century.

With three hundreds and two fifties under his belt, he has accumulated 861 in only 13 innings at an average of 71.75 since making his Test debut for India. The teenage player has scored more than 150 against the West Indies and has twice broken the 200-run threshold, turning all three of his hundreds into massive ones. In the meantime, Jaiswal is attempting to break the enormous all-time record for India in the game’s longest version.

If he scores 139 runs in the next four Test matches, he has a chance to become the player who has amassed 1000 runs in Test cricket the quickest. Together, Cheteshwar Pujara and Sunil Gavaskar lead this list since they reached the milestone in their careers in only 11 Test matches. All things considered, it will be the second quickest behind Don Bradman, who in his seventh Test match scored a thousand runs. In terms of quickest to the milestone in terms of innings, Jaiswal has to score 139 runs in the next innings in order to tie Kambli, who reached the milestone in only 14 batting encounters.
