Team India's rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal is inching closer to etching his name in history books. After a stellar century in the Leeds Test against England, the left-handed opener is now eyeing a record that has stood unchallenged for nearly five decades — the fastest Indian to score 2000 Test runs.

🏏 Just 97 Runs Away From History

In the upcoming Edgbaston Test, Jaiswal needs just 97 runs to reach the 2000-run milestone in Test cricket. If he does so, he will surpass Sunil Gavaskar’s legendary record set back in 1976 — when Gavaskar took 23 matches to reach the landmark.

Jaiswal has played only 20 Test matches so far and has already amassed 1903 runs at an impressive average of 52.86, including 5 centuries and 10 fifties.

📜 Fastest Indians to 2000 Test Runs (Current Records)

If he scores those 97 runs at Edgbaston, Jaiswal will become the fastest Indian ever to reach 2000 Test runs.

🔥 Jaiswal’s Current Form

In the Leeds Test, Jaiswal struck a fluent 101 in the first innings, showcasing his temperament and timing. Though he was dismissed early in the second innings for just 4 runs, his hunger for runs remains evident.

With India desperate to level the series after a 5-wicket loss in Leeds, all eyes will be on Jaiswal to provide a strong start once again.

🎯 India Gears Up for a Comeback

Team India is preparing rigorously for the second Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham, as they look to bounce back and even the series 1-1. The management and fans alike will be banking on Jaiswal’s bat to lead from the front.
