A 75-year-old record in Test cricket can be broken India’s young opener Yasshwi Jaiswal can set a new record in the India-England fifth Test. To set a precedent, Yashaswi will have to score 125 runs in 22 yards of Dharamshala.
Former West Indies cricketer Everton Wicks still holds the world record for most runs in a bilateral Test series. Weeks scored 779 runs in the five-match Test series against India in the 1948-49 season. Yasaswi can break that precedent. After the first four Tests against England, Yasshwi collected 655 runs. If he can score 125 runs against Ben Stokes in Dharamsala, Yashwi will have 780 runs in this series. If that happens,
India’s young opening batsman will set a new world record.Even if it is not a world record, there will be an opportunity for Yasshwi to set an Indian record. Sunil Gaoskar has the most runs among Indian cricketers in bilateral Test series. In 1971, Gawskar scored 774 runs in four Test series against West Indies. Yashshwi needs 120 more runs to break his record. This achievement of Gaoskar is on the soil of West Indies
