Yashasvi Jaiswal Breaks Sunil Gavaskar’s Record, Equals Rahul Dravid And Virendra Sehwag In Test Cricket Landmark

Young Indian batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal continues to rewrite cricketing history. During the second Test match against England at Edgbaston, the 22-year-old shattered a 49-year-old record held by the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, becoming the fastest Indian to score 2,000 runs in Test cricket by matches played. Jaiswal reached the milestone in just 21 Tests, surpassing Gavaskar’s long-standing record of 23 matches, which had stood firm since 1976. In terms of innings, Jaiswal accomplished the feat in 40 innings, equalling the pace set by Indian greats Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag, who had also reached 2,000 Test runs in 40 innings.
