Delhi: Team India is ahead 1-0 in the ongoing five-match Test series between India and Australia, and opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal continues to play an important role in this victory. Jaiswal had given a huge target to India by scoring 161 runs in the second innings of the first match. Now, the left-handed opener has a chance to break a big record, which has been held in the name of Sachin Tendulkar for the last 14 years.
Alastair Cook praised Yashasvi Jaiswal fiercely
263 runs have to be scored in 4 matches
Yashasvi Jaiswal has performed brilliantly so far in Test cricket this year. He has scored 1280 runs in 23 innings at an average of 58.18, which includes 7 half-centuries and 3 centuries. If he scores 263 more runs in the next four Test matches, he will become the highest run-scorer for India in a calendar year. This record is currently in the name of Sachin, who scored 1562 runs in 23 innings in 2010.
Tendulkar is at the forefront of scoring most runs in a calendar year for India, followed by Virender Sehwag and Sunil Gavaskar. The Master Blaster scored runs at an average of 78.1 in 2010 and that year he also scored 5 half-centuries and 7 centuries.
Jaiswal on the threshold of record
Yashasvi Jaiswal still has a chance to play 4 matches, which include Adelaide, Gabba, Sydney and Melbourne Tests. If he performs well in these matches, he can leave behind Sachin’s record. This unique performance of Jaiswal can prove to be a new milestone for Indian cricket, and if he is successful in breaking this record, it will be a major achievement in his career.
