Yashasvi Jaiswal was left behind
World Test Championship WTC 2025: The Indian cricket team is currently on rest. No series is being played right now. But now this rest is not for long. The Test series between India and Bangladesh will start from September 19, only then will the Indian players be seen in action. Meanwhile, a record of Yashasvi Jaiswal, the opener who is counted among the star players of India, has been broken. However, Jaiswal is still at number two.
Joe Root became the highest run scorer in the World Test Championship 2025
Till a few days ago, Yashasvi Jaiswal of India was the highest run-scorer in this season of the World Test Championship (WTC). But now he has fallen behind. Former England captain Joe Root has taken the number one position in this matter. Joe Root has so far scored 1127 runs in 25 innings of 14 matches in the World Test Championship running from 2023 to 2025. He has three centuries and 6 half-centuries to his name. He is also the only batsman to score more than 1100 runs.
Jaiswal is just a little behind Joe Root
Now Yashasvi Jaiswal has reached the second position. Jaiswal has so far scored 1028 runs in 16 innings of 9 matches in this season’s WTC. The special thing is that apart from these two, there is no other batsman who has scored more than 1000 runs. Jaiswal has scored 3 centuries and 4 half-centuries during this period. Now it remains to be seen whether Yashasvi Jaiswal will be able to overtake Joe Root when he will again take the field for the Test.
Jack Crowley and Usman Khawaja are not far behind
Although the main competition is still between Joe Root and Yashasvi Jaiswal. But England’s Jack Crawley and Australia’s Usman Khawaja are also not far behind. Crawley has scored 984 runs and Usman 943 runs so far. That means they are also ready to complete 1000 runs soon. Meanwhile, the rest of the batsmen are far behind. Yes, when the two-Test match series between India and Bangladesh starts, some big and important changes can definitely be seen in it. But for this we will have to wait for a few days.
