Yashasvi Jaiswal had an extraordinary series against England in the new cycle of the World Test Championship. The left-handed batter scored 712 runs in just nine innings, hitting a couple of double hundreds. He deservedly won the Man of the Series award after India’s 4-1 win in the series.
Jaiswal is just getting started in Test cricket, but he has already created some incredible records. Here’s a list of the five records created by the left-handed Indian opener in the recent series against England.
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal became the fastest Indian to reach 1,000 runs in the WTC
The World Test Championship started in 2019. Quite a few Indian batters have crossed the 1,000-run mark in the WTC matches, but Jaiswal has become the fastest one to do so recently.
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal hit the most 6s in a Test series
It is rare to see a batter hit even 10 sixes in a Test series. However, Jaiswal went all out against the English bowlers and ended up hitting 26 sixes, which is a world record.
3. Jaiswal has the most 6s in Test cricket at the age of 22
Jaiswal is just 22 years old, and he already has 29 sixes to his name. It is the highest number of sixes hit by a batter at the age of 22 in Test cricket.
4. Most 6s against James Anderson in a Test
James Anderson is a legend of cricket. He became the first fast bowler to take 700 wickets in Tests, but Jaiswal took him to the cleaners and hit four sixes off his bowling in the same Test.
5. Youngest Indian to win Man of the Series against England
It is the dream of every passionate cricketer to win the Man of the Series award in a Test. Jaiswal has accomplished the feat of winning M.O.T.S against England at the age of 22.
