Indian batters with most runs in 2024 in Tests

In the India vs Bangladesh 1st Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal is leading the batting unit with his steady performance in the middle.

You might expect India’s leading run-scorer in 2024 to be seasoned stars like Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, but it’s the young sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal who has taken the spotlight. With over 750 runs to his name, Jaiswal is the second-highest run-getter in the world this year.

Currently, he is standing strong at the crease in the ongoing first Test between India and Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Jaiswal’s stellar form has made him a standout performer for India in Test cricket, solidifying his place as one of the team’s most reliable batsmen.
