Yashasvi Jaiswal 2nd batter after Brian Lara in history to attain unique record

Yashasvi Jaiswal's double century helped India to reach a total of 396 in the first innings of IND vs ENG 2nd Test in Visakhapatnam.

Yashasvi Jaiswal shattered numerous records with his double century on Day 2 of the IND vs ENG 2nd Test in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. Jaiswal achieved a unique feat as it was only the second instance when a player scored a double ton while no other batter in the team managed to score more than 34 runs.

He has now listed himself alongside a legend like Brian Lara, who was the only player to achieve this feat in 2005. Dwayne Bravo was the second-highest run-scorer in the match with 34 runs against Australia.

In the IND vs ENG 2nd Test, Jaiswal scored 209 runs, with Shubman Gill smashing 34 as the second-highest knock in the team.
