Yashasvi Jaiswal is the second-highest run-scorer after Joe Root in WTC 2023-25, scoring 1028 runs in 16 innings of 9 Test matches. At the same time, the Indian captain is at the 12th position among the top run scorers. Rohit has 700 runs in 16 innings which includes 3 centuries and 3 half-centuries.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma would like to maintain their excellent form in the 2-match series against Bangladesh and if both of them succeed in doing so, they will create big records. Actually, Yashasvi Jaiswal will have a great opportunity to create history in the first Test against Bangladesh. If he plays a big innings, he can become the highest run-scorer in international cricket this year.
Chance to leave Sri Lankan batsman behind
In fact, Jaiswal has scored 1033 runs in 14 matches at an average of 60.76, which includes two centuries and five half-centuries. He is 102 runs behind Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka, who has scored 1135 runs in 23 matches and is the highest run-scorer this year. 37-year-old Rohit needs 10 runs to complete 1000 runs in international cricket this year. Rohit has scored 990 runs in 20 matches this year with the help of three centuries and 6 half-centuries at an average of around 45.
