From June 20, Team India will play their first Test match against England. Everyone will be eyeing this series because the new WTC cycle will also start from this series of 5 matches. In this series, the Indian team’s star young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal is close to achieving a historic achievement in Test cricket. Since debuting in international cricket in 2023, Jaiswal has made rapid progress and he is being counted among the best young players in the world today.

This left -handed batsman is now on the verge of becoming the fastest Indian player to score the fastest 2000 runs in Test cricket. Jaiswal has so far scored 1798 runs in 36 innings of 19 Test matches. His average is 52.88, including four centuries and ten half -centuries. If he completes 2000 runs in the next three innings, he will leave behind veterans like Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag, who achieved this place in 40 innings. Therefore, this historic opportunity is in front of Yashasvi on the tour of England.

However, opening on the swinging pitches of England will be no less than a challenge. In practice matches against England Lions, Jaiswal has scored only one half -century in four innings. Yashaswi’s performance in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 was commendable, where he scored 391 runs, averaged 43.44 and also scored two half-centuries with a century. Looking at this magnificent form, he would like to continue his game in England as well.
