Yashasvi Jaiswal Record: Yashasvi Jaiswal equaled this big record as soon as he scored a half-century, now he is not far from Sunil Gavaskar

Yashasvi Jaiswal's bat spoke on the Chennai MA Chidambaram pitch where players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill failed. This left-handed opener scored a brilliant half-century on the difficult Chennai pitch. Jaiswal scored 56 runs in 118 balls. Jaiswal took Team India out of trouble by making a half-century partnership with Pant. During his half-century innings, Jaiswal equaled a record that is really very special. Now he is going to equal a legend like Sunil Gavaskar.

Big feat of Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored fifty-plus for the 8th time by scoring a half-century against Bangladesh. Only 3 players have achieved this feat in the history of Indian cricket. Earlier Sadagopan Ramesh had achieved this feat and now Jaiswal has equaled him. Sunil Gavaskar has the highest number of fifty-plus scores after 10 Tests, i.e. 9. Jaiswal still has one more inning in the Chennai Test, if he scores fifty-plus in that too, then he will equal Gavaskar.

Explosive performance in 17 Test innings

Yashasvi Jaiswal has played only 17 Test innings in Test cricket and during this time he has scored 3 centuries and 5 half-centuries. Two of these are double centuries. Jaiswal has scored 1084 runs in 17 Test innings so far at an average of 67.75. His strike rate is also around 69.

Jaiswal's wonder

These figures of Yashasvi Jaiswal prove that this player is a big player in every format. Recently, many Australian players have described Jaiswal as a better batsman than Shubman Gill and his performance in Test cricket also shows this. Take Chennai itself, in the first session of the first day, the Bangladeshi fast bowlers were getting a lot of help. Hasan Mahmud especially troubled them with his length and swing and this is the reason why Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli became his victims, Pant also gave his wicket to him but Jaiswal made the best use of his technique and nailed the wicket.
