Will Yashasvi Jaiswal be able to break Sachin Tendulkar’s great record?
Yashasvi Jaiswal: Yashasvi Jaiswal is in amazing form at the moment. Whenever he comes out to bat, a lot of runs are coming from his bat. He scored half-centuries in both the innings of the second Test against Bangladesh. This inning of more than 50 runs came very fast. For the first time in his short Test career, Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored more than 50 runs in both the innings of the Test. Well, this has already happened, but now Yashasvi Jaiswal can make a record which is currently in the name of Sachin Tendulkar. Although Jaiswal is still far behind him, he still has a great and excellent chance to achieve this.
Sachin Tendulkar had scored more than 1500 runs in Test in the year 2010.
In fact, if we talk about the batsman who has scored the most runs in a year in Test cricket for India, then it is Sachin Tendulkar. In 2010, he played 14 test matches and scored 1562 runs for India. This has never happened before or after this. Some batsmen came close to him, but could not break this record. But now there is a chance for Yashasvi Jaiswal. Although they are still far away, they still have a lot of time and matches left.
Jaiswal has scored more than 900 runs in 9 tests this year.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 929 runs by playing 9 test matches in this year i.e. 2024. That means he will have to score 634 more runs from here to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record. Although more than 500 runs are enough, but Jaiswal also has a lot of matches left. Currently, a three-Test series is to be played between India and New Zealand. Team India has not been announced for this yet, but it is almost certain that they will play in this series.
Jaiswal will have a chance in the series against Australia
After the series against New Zealand, Team India will go on a tour of Australia. This series is to be held at the end of the year. Five Test matches will be played during the series, but four of these matches will take place this year i.e. 2024. If seen in this way, Yashasvi Jaiswal still has seven matches left this year. A player who has scored more than 900 runs in 8 matches can be expected to score at least 600 runs in the remaining 7 matches. But for this, two to three centuries or a big double century will be required. Even if some small innings come after this, the work will be done. It remains to be seen whether this record of Sachin gets broken or remains unbroken in the future.
