3 records Yashasvi Jaiswal can break in the upcoming Test match

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been the shining star in the ongoing Test series between India and England. The left-handed youngster has smashed two double centuries to establish himself as a long-term opening alternative for India. Let us take a look at 3 records that Yashasvi Jaiswal can break in the Dharamsala Test. 

Jaiswal can overtake Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar, who forced the composers in the Caribbean to describe his genius musically, can be overtaken by another youngster from Mumbai. Gavaskar has the record of scoring the most runs in a Test series for India. He amassed 774 runs in 1971 against West Indies in the Caribbean. Following his footsteps, Jaiswal has already accumulated 655 runs in this series and he has an opportunity to go past the Indian legend in terms of scoring the most runs in a Test series for India. 

Second fastest Indian to 1,000 Test runs

Yashasvi Jaiswal has started his Test career with a bang. He is on an unbelievable run-scoring streak. The left-hander can surpass Cheteshwar Pujara in terms of being the second fastest to score 1000 runs in the Test format for India. Pujara achieved this milestone in 18 innings whereas Jaiswal has played 15 innings and he needs only 29 runs to breach the 1000-run mark. The way he has been batting it is almost certain that he will achieve this feat in the next Test. 

Most runs for India in a bilateral Test series against England

There has been a long history between India and England in Test cricket. Virat Kohli stands at the top when it comes to accumulating the most runs for India in a bilateral Test series against England. Virat had 655 runs to his name in the 2016/17 series. Yashasvi has already levelled that record and he just needs to open his account in the Dharamsala Test to breeze past Virat. It will be a massive achievement for a youngster who is just making his way into international cricket to break Virat Kohli’s record.
