Yashasvi Jaiswal
The moment for which cricket fans were waiting has arrived. There is going to be a clash between India and Australia in Perth from tomorrow i.e. 22nd November. In this first match of the Border-Gavaskar Test series, all eyes will be on the Indian batsmen. It will be interesting to see with which 11 players Team India takes the field in the first test match against Australia. It is difficult for Indian captain Rohit Sharma's team to play in the first test match because he is currently in India with his family. There are speculations that in the absence of Rohit, KL Rahul can be fielded in the opening. KL Rahul's recent form has not been anything special, hence the onus of giving a good start to the Indian team will be on the shoulders of young opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Jaiswal in great form
This is Jaiswal's first tour of Australia in which the team will have high expectations from him. The year 2014 has been great so far for the young left-handed opener. He is the second highest run scorer this year after Joe Root. He has scored 1119 runs in 21 innings of 11 Test matches which includes 2 centuries and 7 half-centuries. During this period his batting average has been 55.95.
Considering the excellent form Jaiswal is in, there is a possibility of a big record being broken in the first innings of the Perth Test itself. In fact, Yashasvi Jaiswal will create history by scoring 15 runs during India's first innings in the first Test match. He will become the left-handed Indian batsman with the highest run scorer in a calendar year in the history of Indian Test cricket. Currently, this record is in the name of former Indian opening batsman and current head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir had scored 1134 runs in Test cricket in the year 2008.
Yashasvi has a chance to leave Sachin behind
A total of 5 matches will be played in this series. During this time, Jaiswal will also have a chance to break Sachin Tendulkar's biggest record. If he succeeds in scoring 444 runs, he will become the batsman who has scored the most Test runs for India in a calendar year. Currently this record is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin had scored 1562 runs in Test cricket in 2010.
