Yashasvi Jaiswal has a chance to overtake Joe Root
The Pink Ball Test between India and Australia will be played from 6th December. This will be the second match of the series. A huge gap has been kept between the first and second Test, so that Team India can prepare properly for the Pink Ball Test. Meanwhile, the good thing for India was that in the very first match, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli scored centuries. Now in the second test, Jaiswal has a chance to defeat former England captain Joe Root. For this, Jaiswal does not have to do much, he just has to play one innings of 50 plus.
India vs Australia series is being played under the World Test Championship
The India vs Australia Test series is being played under the World Test Championship. The final of this championship, which started from the year 2023, will be played next year i.e. 2025. If we talk about the batsmen who have played 50 plus runs innings the maximum number of times in this cycle, then India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal and England’s Joe Root are on equal footing. Joe Root has scored more than 50 runs 12 times in 36 Test innings, while Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored more than 50 runs 12 times in 28 Test innings. After these two top batsmen comes the name of Dhananjay de Silva of Sri Lanka, who has scored 50 plus 10 times after playing 18 Test innings. No other batsman is close to him.
Jaiswal will have to play innings of 50 plus runs in the pink ball test.
Now, if Yashasvi Jaiswal scores more than 50 runs one more time in the Pink Ball Test starting from 6th December, then he will reach number one and Joe Root will be left behind. The special thing about Yashasvi Jaiswal is that once he settles on the crease, he does not want to get out soon. Even after scoring a century, he continues to try to make it bigger. Yashasvi Jaiswal has completed a century four times in his short Test career, out of which he has never been out for less than 150 runs. This is what makes them even more special.
Has played a strong inning of 161 runs in the first test against Australia.
In the last Test against Australia i.e. in Perth, he may have been out for zero in the first innings, but in the very next innings, he scored a big inning of 161 runs with his bat. With this he has given an idea about his rhythm. After this, when the Indian team faced PM 11 before the Pink Ball Test, Jaiswal played a short but brilliant inning of 45 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal will play his first pink ball test, so everyone will be watching to see how he performs in this match.
