Yashasvi Jaiswal has a golden opportunity to become number one
Yashasvi Jaiswal World Test Championship: The first match of the Test series between India and Bangladesh has been played. The Indian team has won it by 280 runs. The second match of the series will be played in Kanpur from September 27. Both the teams will reach there soon for this. Meanwhile, in the first match, India’s opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal’s bat did not perform the way he is known for, but still he has come very close to former England Test captain Joe Root. He has a chance to overtake Joe Root in the Kanpur Test, because Root will now take the field for the Test only next month. We are talking about the World Test Championship here.
Joe Root has scored the most runs in the World Test Championship, Jaiswal is at second place
The highest run-scorer in this round of the World Test Championship is England’s Joe Root. He has scored 1398 runs in 29 innings of 16 matches so far. His average here is 53.76 and he is scoring runs at a strike rate of around 62. After this, India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal is at number two. He has scored 1094 runs in 18 innings of 10 Tests so far. That is, if Jaiswal has to get ahead of Root, then he will have to score more than 300 runs from here. The Kanpur Test is still left and Jaiswal also has one innings due. If his bat performs well in the last Test, then Joe Root may be left behind.
Jaiswal will have to play a big innings in the Kanpur Test
The good thing for Yashasvi Jaiswal is that the Kanpur Test will start from September 27. While he will have the opportunity to score runs, if we talk about Joe Root, he will take the field on October 7 next month, when England will play their first Test against Pakistan. While Joe Root will play three Tests in October, Yashasvi Jaiswal will also be seen playing three Tests against New Zealand. That means the competition here will be almost equal, it will be interesting to see who comes out ahead.
Jaiswal scored 56 runs in the first innings
Jaiswal scored 56 runs in the first innings of the Test against Bangladesh. Where he faced 118 balls. There was no six during Jaiswal’s innings, but he was able to hit nine fours. Whereas in the second innings, his bat remained silent. Here he could score only 10 runs in 17 balls. Where he hit two fours. Now it has to be seen how his performance is in the second Test.
