Will Yashasvi Jaiswal be able to show this amazing feat? This is what he will have to do to leave Root behind

The Indian team has seen a lot of ups and downs in the 2 Test matches played so far on the tour of Australia, in which Team India won in Perth, while it had to face defeat in the Pink Ball Test match played in Adelaide. Now the second Test match of the series will be played at the Gabba ground in Brisbane, where once again all eyes will be on the performance of Team India’s young opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal has seen excellent performance with the bat in Tests in the year 2024, in which he has also played an important role with the bat in winning many matches. However, this year Yashasvi also has a chance to do a big feat, in which he will have to bat very well in the Boxing Day Test match to be played in Brisbane and then at the Melbourne ground.

Yashasvi has a chance to score the most runs in Tests in the year 2024

There are not many days left for the year 2024 to end, in which Team India still has to play 2 more Test matches this year. Yashasvi Jaiswal has played 13 matches in Tests so far this year, in which he has got a chance to bat in 26 innings and in this he has scored 1304 runs at an average of 54.33. 3 centuries and 7 half-century innings have also been seen from Jaiswal’s bat. Yashasvi is currently second after Joe Root in terms of scoring the most runs in Tests in the year 2024, with whom he has a difference of only 166 runs. In such a situation, Jaiswal has a great opportunity to leave Root behind. However, Root will also get a chance to play one more Test match this year, which may increase the difference in runs.

The whole picture will be clear before the Melbourne Test match

The England team is currently on a tour of New Zealand in which they have to play the last Test match of the series at Hamilton ground from December 14. In such a situation, how many more runs Jaiswal will have to score to leave Root behind will be decided before the Boxing Day Test match between India and Australia to be held in Melbourne. However, to reduce this gap, Yashasvi will have to show better performance with the bat in the Brisbane Test. Joe Root has scored 1470 runs in 16 Test matches so far in the year 2024 at an average of 56.53, in which 6 centuries and four half-century innings have been seen from his bat.
