Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is playing an instrumental role for India in the ongoing series, has broken one more record and has entered into the elite club. Yashasvi Jaiswal has completed 26 sixes in test cricket, which is equal to the sixes smashed by Virat Kohli in the same format.
The most interesting thing to note is that Jaiswal played only 7 test matches for the side, while Kohli has appeared in a total of 113 matches. Jaiswal’s performance in the last few innings has been brilliant, as the player also made a double century in the previous game and helped India secure a one-sided win over the visitors in Rajkot.
Alastair Cook also encouraged the Youngster
Yashasvi Jaiswal played an outstanding innings in the previous game and scored 214 runs while facing 236 deliveries with an impressive strike rate of 90.68. He smashed a total of 14 fours and 12 sixes in the innings, and while talking about his magnificent knock, Alastair Cook, the former English cricketer, said that the number of sixes, Jaiswal smashed in one innings is more than the number of sixes he hit in his whole career.
Alastair Cook, who is the fifth-highest run scorer in Test cricket, smashed only 11 sixes in his whole Test career, comprising 161 test matches. With the help of Jaiswal’s innings, India was able to secure a massive win over England by a margin of 434 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Test Records has been Impressive
Yashasvi Jaiswal has played a total of 7 Test matches and scored 861 runs with an average of 71.75 and a strike rate of 68.99, including 2 half-centuries and 3 magnificent hundreds, with the best score in an innings of 214* runs. He made his debut in Test cricket on July 12, 2023, against the West Indies at Roseau and has also become the third Indian batter to score more than 600 runs in a Test series.
Jaiswal’s performance in the shortest format of the game has also been impressive, as he made 502 runs in 17 contests at an average of 33.46 and a strike rate of 161.93. Jaiswal has not played any contests in ODI cricket, and soon he is expected to make his debut in the 50-over format of the game as well.
