Most Test runs in 2024 ft.Yashasvi Jaiswal

With his aggressive batting at the top, Yashasvi Jaiswal has made crucial runs for India in recent games and has now added one more record to his bag.

India’s southpaw, Yashasvi Jaiswal, is currently enjoying a fine run of form as the star batter dismantles bowlers with his drives all over the boundaries. The youngster has now surpassed 1,000 runs in a calendar year by making crucial contributions for India in the ongoing second Test match against New Zealand, although he got out at a score of 30. However now, he stands second on the prestigious list, just behind England legend Joe Root, who is currently in top form. Root recently surpassed Alastair Cook with 12,000 Test runs.

Batting at the top, especially as an opener, where fast bowlers can swing the ball both ways, is never easy for batters to start strong in such conditions. Interestingly, only two batters have scored over 1,000 runs in Test cricket this year: Joe Root, who leads with 1,305 runs, and Jaiswal, who is slowly but steadily climbing up the ranks.
