Will Jaiswal do this amazing feat? This is what he will have to do to leave Root behind

IND vs AUS: The Indian cricket team's tour of Australia has been full of many ups and downs so far. While Team India registered a spectacular win in Perth, it suffered a disappointing defeat in the Pink Ball Test match played in Adelaide. Now the third Test match of the series will be played at the Gabba ground in Brisbane, which has historically been a challenging venue. In this match, all eyes will be on young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has caught everyone's attention with his performance in Test cricket in the year 2024.

Yashasvi Jaiswal: Star of 2024

Yashasvi Jaiswal has performed brilliantly with his bat in 2024. He has scored 1304 runs in 26 innings of 13 Test matches this year at an average of 54.33. His innings include three centuries and seven half-centuries, which show his consistency and ability. Currently, Yashasvi is second only to Joe Root in the list of highest run scorers in Tests in 2024. Root has scored 1470 runs in 16 matches, and there is only a difference of 166 runs between the two batsmen.

Brisbane Test: Golden opportunity for Jaiswal

The Gaba ground in Brisbane has always been a favorite of fast bowlers, where batsmen have to show amazing patience and technique. In such a situation, this Test is a great opportunity for Jaiswal to showcase his talent and give the team a strong start. If he plays a big innings here, he will not only contribute to the team's victory, but can also take the lead in the race to become the highest run-scorer in 2024.

The picture will be clear till the Melbourne Test

After Brisbane, the Boxing Day Test to be played in Melbourne will also prove to be decisive. The England team is currently on a tour of New Zealand, where Root will get a chance to play another Test. After this match starting on December 14 in Hamilton, it will be clear how many runs Jaiswal will have to score in Melbourne.

Historic year opportunity for Jaiswal

This year can prove to be a milestone in the cricket career of Yashasvi Jaiswal. His consistency and ability to perform on the big stage has established him as a key player of Team India. Now it will be interesting to see how he performs in Brisbane and Melbourne and whether he is able to overtake Joe Root to become the top Test batsman of 2024.

Conclusion

The Australia tour has always been challenging for the Indian team, but this time young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal have raised expectations. If Jaiswal continues his form, he will not only achieve personal feat but will also help Team India to a historic victory. All eyes are now on his next two Test matches.
