Yashasvi Jaiswal's Chance to Break Sehwag-Dravid's Special Record

The moment everyone was eagerly waiting for for the last few months has arrived. A few hours from now, the 5-match Test series between India and England will begin. The first match is to be held in Dingley, Leeds, for which England has released its playing 11, while the picture of Team India's 11 players will be clear after the toss. Yashasvi Jaiswal is sure to play. He will be seen opening with KL Rahul. This player will have a chance to make a big record in the very first Test. He can break the record of former cricketer Virender Sehwag. Let's know what is this special record…

Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 1798 runs in 36 innings in Test cricket so far and is just 202 runs away from completing 2000 runs. If he touches this figure in the first 3 innings against England, he will become the batsman to complete 2000 runs in the least number of innings for India.

Who holds this record at the moment?

At present, the record for reaching the 2000-run mark in the least number of innings for India is held by Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag, who achieved this feat in 40 innings. If Jaiswal scores 202 runs in both innings of the first Test, his name will be recorded in the golden pages of Indian cricket history, but it will not be that easy. Jaiswal's real test will be on the pitches of England.

Will he support KL Rahul in opening?

After Rohit Sharma retires from Test cricket, there is a high possibility of KL Rahul opening with Jaiswal. Team India is showing faith in young players this time and in such a situation, Jaiswal will have a big responsibility. He will have to take care not only of scoring runs but also of spending more time at the crease.
