    What's the story

    Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal has set a new record in his Test career, during the second day of the first Test match against Bangladesh.

    Despite scoring only 56 and 10 runs in the first and second innings respectively, Jaiswal's overall performance led him to a significant milestone.

    He has now scored 1,094 runs in his initial 10 matches, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar's record of 978 runs.

    Inspiring journey

    Jaiswal's journey from humble beginnings to record-breaking success

    Jaiswal's achievement marks a significant milestone in his Test career, which began with humble origins in Mumbai.

    He first gained recognition for his outstanding performances in age-group cricket, particularly during the 2020 U-19 World Cup where he was the highest run-scorer.

    Since making his Test debut for India in 2023, Jaiswal has consistently delivered high-scoring innings and established himself as a reliable top-order batter.

    Global comparison

    Jaiswal's record-breaking performance in global context

    In a global context, Jaiswal's record-breaking performance places him among some of the most successful batters in their first 10 Test matches.

    The overall record is held by Don Bradman who scored 1,446 runs in his first 10 matches.

    Other notable figures include Everton Weekes and George Headley from the West Indies with 1,125 and 1,102 runs respectively.

    Mark Taylor of Australia also had a strong start with 1,088 runs.

    Stats

    As per ESPNcricinfo, the left-handed batter has raced to 1,094 runs in just 10 Tests at an incredible average of 64.35.

    His tally includes three tons, five half-centuries, and a double-ton.

    Jaiswal has an astronomical average of 77.80 in home Tests. He owns as many as two tons in this regard.

    Notably, he scored a stunning 171 on Test debut against WI last year.
