Yashasvi Jaiswal broke Gundappa Vishwanath’s record
While the record of scoring the most runs in a year at home for the Indian team in Test cricket is now in the name of Yashasvi Jaiswal, earlier this record was in the name of Gundappa Vishwanath, who played in 13 Test matches at home in the year 1979. Had scored a total of 1048 runs at an average of 61.58, while Yashasvi Jaiswal has left him behind and has scored 1056 runs with an excellent average of 66 in the Test matches played at home in the year 2024, in which he has scored 2 centuries with his bat.
