Test series is to be played between India and England from June 20. Cricket lovers will keep an eye on this series. The reason behind this is the abundance of young players in the Indian team. On the other hand, England's team consists mostly of senior players. At the same time, captain Shubman Gill has a big responsibility of winning the series on his shoulders. India has not been able to win any series here since 2007.
Everyone's eyes will be on young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal during this series. Jaiswal has not played much international cricket yet. But whatever cricket he has played, he has performed well. This will be the first time for Jaiswal, when he will be seen playing on England's soil.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has performed brilliantly in Test cricket so far. So far he has played a total of 19 Test matches. During this, he has scored a total of 1798 runs with an average of 55.88 including 4 centuries and 10 half-centuries. If we talk about England, then he has also scored a double century against this team. This shows that Jaiswal can perform well against the English team.
Can Yashasvi break record of Dravid and Sehwag?
Yashasvi Jaiswal has so far scored 1789 runs in 36 innings of 19 matches at an average of 52.88. He has four centuries and ten half-centuries to his name. If he manages to complete the 2000 run mark in the next three innings, he can surpass Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag in terms of scoring the fastest 2000 runs for India in Tests. Both Dravid and Sehwag achieved this feat in 40 innings. In such a situation, Jaiswal will have a great opportunity to achieve a historic feat in the upcoming series in England.
Will he break Shahid Afridi's record?
Jaiswal hits a lot of sixes in Test cricket. So far he has hit a total of 39 sixes. On the other hand, former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi is at number one in the list of cricketers most sixes in Test cricket. He has hit a total of 50 sixes in his Test career. That is, Jaiswal needs 11 sixes to equal Shahid Afridi's record and 12 sixes to break it. If Jaiswal hits 12 sixes in the five-match Test series against England, then he will become the number one player in the world in this matter.
