Yashasvi Jaiswal has the opportunity to become the second Indian in cricket history to breach the 700-run mark in a single Test series.

The only Indian cricketer to ever do so before is the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, he reached this epic milestone twice in his career and both times against the famous West Indies team (1970-1971 and 1978-1979).

The young Indian opener is also eyeing the record for most runs scored by an Indian batter in a single Test series. The record is held by Gavaskar for his historic 774 runs outing against Windies back in 1971. During that series, Gavaskar scored 65, 67*, 116, 64*, 117*, 124, and 220 runs knock, only once he was dismissed on the score of 1.

However, Jaiswal currently needs 120 more runs in order to break this record.

Jaiswal became the only fifth Indian batter to score 600 or more runs in a Test series after his 73-run knock on the second day of the fourth Test against England at the JSCA International Cricket Stadium.

The young sensation has so far amassed a staggering 655 runs in this ongoing red-ball series against England, boasting an impressive average of 93.57, this also includes two astonishing double centuries.
