Team India’s young opening bat Yashasvi Jaiswal is still on fire with spectacular performances. Having been India’s highest run-getter in 2024, his bat has still been roaring in 2025 too. He has been consistently good throughout the current series against England. Having scored a hundred in the first match, he then came out with a fantastic knock of 87 runs in the first innings of the second Test. Then, when he emerged to bat during the second innings, he began aggressively and recorded a historic milestone, surpassing legends such as Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in the process. Although he departed early, on just 28 runs in the second innings. Let’s tell you more about this rare feat.
