This player is on the verge of breaking Jaiswal's record, just this many runs away

World Test Championship: It has been only a year since Yashasvi Jaiswal made his debut in Test cricket. But in such a short time, Jaiswal has left his mark on world cricket. He is currently India's most reliable opening batsman. Yashasvi Jaiswal looks calm, but when he comes on the field, a different form of him is seen. Aggressive style has become his identity. Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal has the most runs in this edition of the World Test Championship, but soon he will be removed from the top position.

The third season of the World Test Championship is going on

The highest run-scorer in the World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​is Yashasvi Jaiswal of India. So far he has scored 1028 runs while batting in 16 innings of 9 Test matches. During this, he has scored three centuries and four half-centuries. His highest score is 214 not out. After this, Joe Root of England is at number two. He has scored 1023 runs in 23 innings of 13 matches so far in this season of the World Test Championship. Apart from these two batsmen, no one else has crossed the 1000 run mark.

Joe Root will take the field for Test on 21 August

Now Yashasvi Jaiswal will take the field during the series against Bangladesh from 19 September, but even before that England's Joe Root can break his record. Joe Root needs only 6 runs to leave Jaiswal behind. At present, the Sri Lankan team is on a tour of England. Where three Test matches are to be played. The first match of the series is to start from 21 August. There is every possibility that Joe Root will go to number one during this time. The second match of the series is to be held from 29 August. At the same time, the third and last match will start from 6 September. That is, by the time Jaiswal comes back to the field for the Test, Joe Root will have already played three Tests. Root will not only have a chance to overtake Jaiswal, but also has a chance to make a big lead.

Yashasvi Jaiswal will play two Tests against Bangladesh

After this, when Yashasvi Jaiswal will take the field against Bangladesh on September 19, he will be seen chasing Joe Root. But the question is that Joe Root will have three Tests, while Jaiswal will have only two matches. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Jaiswal is able to overtake Joe Root. Joe Root may be a little behind in this WTC, but he has the most runs in the World Test Championship which started in the year 2019. He has scored 4598 runs by playing 55 Tests from the beginning till now. From the year 2019 till now, he is the only batsman who has scored more than four thousand runs in the World Test Championship. There is no other batsman even close to him.
