Yashasvi Jaiswal came closer to Joe Root
Yashasvi Jaiswal World Test Championship: The Indian cricket team won the test match played between India and Bangladesh by 7 wickets. Although everyone’s role was important in this victory, but Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance is unique. He has scored half-centuries in both the innings of the match. Not only this, he is the batsman who scores half-centuries at a strike rate of more than 100. Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal has now come closer to former England captain Joe Root. Here we are talking about the batsmen who scored the most runs in this season of the World Test Championship.
Joe Root has the most runs in this season of the World Test Championship
If we talk about this season of the World Test Championship i.e. 2023-2025 cycle, the batsman who has scored the most runs is still England’s Joe Root. So far he has scored 1398 runs in 29 innings of 16 matches. After this, Yashasvi Jaiswal comes at second place. Jaiswal was already at number two, but now he has come close to Joe Root after scoring two half-centuries against Bangladesh. At the same time, his lead from the number three batsman has also increased.
Yashasvi Jaiswal also completed 1200 runs
Yashasvi Jaiswal has played 20 innings of 11 matches so far under the World Test Championship and so far he has scored 1217 runs. Now Joe Root is definitely going to be their target. Meanwhile, the big thing is that in this cycle of WTC, there are only two batsmen who have been successful in scoring more than 1200 runs. England’s Ben Duckett is at third place, he has 1028 runs in his name in 20 innings of 16 matches. Apart from these three, there is no one who has been able to score more than a thousand runs.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill far behind
If we talk about Indian batsmen, Rohit Sharma comes in this list, but he is still far behind. Rohit has scored 742 runs in 20 innings of 11 matches so far in this season of the World Test Championship. Shubman Gill has also scored 735 runs in 20 innings of 11 matches. Now, in the upcoming three-Test series against New Zealand, they will have a chance to join the club of one thousand, it remains to be seen how the performance of Team India is in that series.
