Yashasvi Jaiswal’s scorching form for India against England sets the stage for a potential record-breaking spree as he gears up for the Ranchi encounter. The IND vs ENG 4th Test in Ranchi will begin on February 23rd as India lead the series 2-1.
Having already etched his name in the annals of cricket history with back-to-back double centuries in Vizag and Rajkot, Jaiswal commands the top spot on the series’ run-scoring charts, amassing a staggering 545 runs from just 6 innings at an impressive average of 109.
Despite battling back spasms during the third Test, the young prodigy displayed sheer grit, tallying 214 runs and matching Wasim Akram’s record for the most sixes in an innings with 12 colossal hits.
Yashasvi Jaiswal targets more records in IND vs ENG 4th Test:
Now, his sights are set on surpassing Sunil Gavaskar’s illustrious milestone of 700 runs in a bilateral series, needing a further 229 runs to eclipse the cricketing legend’s record.
Additionally, Jaiswal eyes Virat Kohli’s 21st-century benchmark of 692 runs in a bilateral Test series, with the Indian maestro also holding the record for the most runs in an India vs. England Test series.
Another milestone within reach is Vinod Kambli’s record as the joint-fastest Indian to reach 1000 Test runs, a feat achieved in 14 innings, which Jaiswal aims to match with just 139 runs in his next innings. As the stage is set in Ranchi, anticipation brews for Jaiswal’s quest to etch his name in cricketing folklore once more.
