IND vs ENG: Yashasvi Jaiswal Becomes Joint-Fastest Indian to 2,000 Test Runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal is now an equal joint-fastest Indian to score 2,000 Test runs in only 40 innings. He now shares this milestone with Indian greats Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag, who reached it at the same number.
He came into the second Test at Edgbaston needing 97 runs to complete the feat. After narrowly missing out in the first innings, where he scored a well-made 87 runs, Jaiswal was focused on not letting this chance escape him again. In India’s second innings, he calmly blasted his way to the 2,000-run mark, demonstrating the poise, class, and consistency that have made him an important addition to the top of India’s Test batting line-up.
Jaiswal has achieved five centuries and 11 fifties in his Test career, and he is just 23 years old. He has an average hovering around 54. His performance against both home and away attacks has received deserved endorsement from cricket experts. They believe he may play an important role in India’s Test plans moving forward.
