From July 2, the second Test will be played between India and England at Edgbaston Cricket Stadium in Birmingham. Team India is 0–1 backward in the series. The team would like to return to the second Test by forgetting the previous mistakes. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a century in the first Test, is on the threshold of setting a world record.
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 101 runs in the first innings in the Leeds Test, however, he was dismissed by just 4 runs in the second innings. But he is seen in good form. He is close to breaking Shahid Afridi’s world record.
Right now these records are named after former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi. He completed 50 sixes of his Test cricket in 46 innings. Talking about Yashasvi Jaiswal, he has hit 40 sixes in 38 innings in Test cricket. He can make the world record of Afridi by hitting 10 sixes.
Let me tell you, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Test record is good against England. He has so far hit 27 sixes in 11 innings. He has hit the most sixes against this one team. Even if he is unable to hit 10 sixes in the second Test, he will have a chance to break this record further. He has to hit 10 sixes in the next 7 innings to break Afridi’s record.
At the same time, Rohit Sharma is the second batsman to hit 50 sixes in Test cricket. Who retired from Test recently. He touched this figure in 51 innings, Jaiswal is almost certain to beat Rohit. Jaiswal has just scored 1903 runs in 38 innings of 20 matches played in Tests, he is also close to completing 2000 Test runs. In the Test, he has played 5 centuries and 10 half -century innings so far.
