Yashaswi Jaiswal, the young opener of the Indian team, has set a new record in Test cricket and confirmed his place in the queue of veterans. During the second innings of the Aazbaston Test, Yashasvi completed 2000 Test runs and joined the fastest reaching players in this special club. With this achievement, he left behind great batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.

Jaiswal has become the second youngest batsman in India to reach this figure by completing 2000 Test runs at the age of 23 years 188 days. Before him, only master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has been able to do this, who made this record in just 20 years 330 days.

Historical record in Edgbaston Test

As soon as Yashasvi Jaiswal completed his 10th run in the second innings of Edgbaston Test, he completed his 2000 runs in Test cricket. He did this feat in his 40th Test innings. With this, he became the fastest Indian batsman to jointly score the fastest 2000 Test runs with Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag. Jaiswal, who played a brilliant innings of 87 runs in the first innings, was dismissed by 28 runs in 22 balls in the second innings, but by then he had created history.

Virat Kohli, Gambhir and Hazare beaten

Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 2018 runs in 40 innings of 21 Test matches at an excellent average of 53.10, including 5 centuries and 11 half -centuries. He left Gautam Gambhir and Vijay Hazare behind in reaching this figure, who had completed 2000 runs in 43 innings. Virat Kohli is also far behind in this matter. He touched the 2000 -run figure in 53 innings, which makes this record of Jaiswal even more special.

Back to Sachin, but second youngest batsman

However, Jaiswal is still behind the master blaster in terms of age. Sachin Tendulkar completed 2000 Test runs at the age of just 20 years 330 days. At the same time, Jaiswal has achieved this place in 23 years 188 days. Nevertheless, it makes him the second youngest batsman in Indian cricket history, who has achieved this achievement at such a young age.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Test career has been very good. In the recent past, he has made many records and has emerged as a trusted opener for Team India. His technology, confidence and ability to score continuously make him one of the most talented young batsmen of the current era.
