IND vs ENG 2nd test: Yashasvi Jaiswal on the verge of breaking Afridi’s world record, will leave Rohit behind as well

The second Test between India and England will be played at Edgbaston Cricket Stadium in Birmingham from July 2. Shubman Gill and team are trailing 0-1 in the series. The team would like to make a comeback in the second Test by forgetting the past mistakes. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a century in the first Test, is on the verge of making a world record.

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 101 runs in the first innings of the Leeds Test, although he was dismissed after scoring just 4 runs in the second innings. But he seems to be in good form. He is close to breaking Shahid Afridi’s world record.

Fastest batsman to hit 50 in Test cricket

At present, this record is in the name of former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi. He completed his 50 sixes in Test cricket in 46 innings. Talking about Yashasvi Jaiswal, he has hit 40 sixes in 38 innings in Test cricket. He can make Afridi’s world record in his name by hitting 10 sixes.

Let us tell you that Yashasvi’s Test record remains good against England, he has hit 27 sixes in 11 innings so far. He has hit the most sixes against this one team. Even if he is unable to hit 10 sixes in the second Test, he will still have a chance to break this record in the future. To break Afridi’s record, he has to hit 10 sixes in the next 7 innings.

Rohit Sharma is almost certain to be left behind

The second fastest batsman to hit 50 sixes in Test cricket is Rohit Sharma, who recently retired from Tests. He had touched this figure in 51 innings, Jaiswal is almost certain to leave Rohit behind. Jaiswal has scored 1903 runs in 38 innings of 20 matches played in Tests, he is also close to completing 2000 Test runs. He has so far played 5 centuries and 10 half-century innings in Tests.
