Jaiswal’s achievement places him ahead of Indian cricket legends such as Sachin Tendulkar (44 innings), Sunil Gavaskar (44), Gautam Gambhir (43), Vijay Hazare (43), Sourav Ganguly (45), and Cheteshwar Pujara (46). This remarkable feat highlights Jaiswal’s consistency and maturity at a young age.

The record came during the ongoing Test series against England, where Jaiswal continues to impress. After scoring a century in the first Test, he narrowly missed another in the second match, falling for 87 in the first innings. In the second innings, he was dismissed after scoring 28 runs.

At just 23 years and 188 days old, Jaiswal is showing signs of a long and successful career. With a composed batting style and hunger for runs, he is already being compared to some of India’s greatest cricketers. His rapid rise and milestone-setting performances have made him a player to watch as Indian cricket looks to the future.

Jaiswal’s latest achievement is not just a personal milestone but also a proud moment for Indian cricket fans witnessing the emergence of a new batting sensation.
