Yashasvi Jaiswal: India’s star opener batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal played an excellent inning of 77 runs in the Pune Test. During this, he destroyed the 45 year old record of Gundappa Vishwanath in the history of Test cricket. Apart from this, Jaiswal has achieved another big achievement, let us know those achievements in detail.
Yashasvi made these records in Pune Test:
1000+ test runs in a calendar year before turning 23
Yashasvi scored 30 runs in the first innings of the Pune Test, completing his 1000 runs in the Test format this year. He is the first player from India to score 1000 Test runs in a calendar year before the age of 23. Sachin Tendulkar made his debut for Team India at the age of 16, but could not score 1000 Test runs in a calendar year until he was 23. Yashasvi is the fifth player in the world to achieve this feat before the age of 23:
1193 – Garfield Sobers (1958) 1198 – Graeme Smith (2003) 1008 – AB de Villiers (2005) 1013 – Alastair Cook (2006) *1001 – Yashasvi Jaiswal (2024) Indians who have scored the most runs at home in a calendar year.
With his innings of 77 runs in the Pune Test, Yashasvi became the highest run scorer on Indian grounds in a calendar year, breaking the record of Gundappa Vishwanath in this matter. Vishwanath scored 1048 runs in 13 Test matches in 1979 at an average of 61.58, while Yashasvi scored 1056 runs in 2024 at an average of 66, which included 2 centuries and 7 half-centuries. His runs are likely to increase as the Indian team is yet to play one more Test match against New Zealand.
