After the Perth Test match of the ongoing 5-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s bat was seen speaking in the Boxing-Day Test being played in Melbourne, in which he was playing very well in the first innings of Team India, but he lost his wicket at a personal score of 82.
The year 2024 was very good for Jaiswal, but in this innings he missed a century by just 18 runs, to which he had come very close. While batting with Virat Kohli, Jaiswal tried to take a run by playing a shot towards mid-on, but due to misunderstanding he had to return to the pavilion after being run out. With this, Jaiswal’s name was included in a list, which earlier included only Chetan Chauhan’s name.
Yashasvi Jaiswal became the second Indian opening batsman to be run out
When Yashasvi Jaiswal was run out in this Test match being played at the Melbourne ground, he became the second opening batsman of India to return to the pavilion in this way. Earlier in the year 1977, Chetan Chauhan, who opened for the Indian team on the same ground, returned to the pavilion after being run out. Yashasvi Jaiswal faced 118 balls during his 82-run innings, in which he hit 11 fours and a six. This was Jaiswal’s 11th such innings in the year 2024 in Tests, in which he has been successful in scoring 50 or more runs.
Jaiswal equaled Ravi Shastri and Kapil Dev
Yashasvi Jaiswal has equaled the record of Ravi Shastri and Kapil Dev on the basis of his 82-run innings in the Melbourne Test, in which this is his 13th 50 plus innings in Tests under the age of 23. At the same time, Sachin Tendulkar‘s name is included at the first place in this list, who had played 29 innings of fifty plus runs in Test cricket before the age of 23.
