Yashasvi Jaiswal completed the 1,000-run mark in 9th Test. He reached the feat during IND vs ENG Test series played earlier this year.

Pakistan’s current vice-captain, Saud Shakeel etched history as he became the joint fastest batter to score 1,000 runs for Pakistan in the Test cricket. The 28-year-old Karachi-born batter crossed the 1000-run mark in his 20th inning of the 11th Test. Before him, Saeed Ahmed also scored 1000 Test runs for Pakistan in his 11th Test.

During the India-England Test series played earlier this year, star Indian opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal became the fastest Indian batter to score 1000 runs in Tests. He crossed the 1000-run mark in the red-ball format of the game in his ninth match.

Overall, the record for scoring the fastest 1000 runs in Tests is held by former Australian batter Sir Donald Bradman. The legendary cricketer crossed the 1000-run mark in his 7th Test, which he played against England in Leeds (1930).
