Joe Root Eye Catching Record, Rishabh Pant, Yashsvi Jaiswal and Jasprit Bumrah Chase Milestone

The India vs England series got off to a flyer with 5 days of thrilling action in Headingley, Leeds. Rishabh Pant set new records, Jasprit Bumrah showcased his greatness while Yashasvi Jaiswal also notched up a century. The trio will have another chance to script milestones when the action resumes with the IND vs ENG 2nd Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

Yashasvi Jaiswal aims to surpass Sunil Gavaskar

After the IND vs ENG 1st Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal has 1903 runs in 20 Tests. The left-hander scored a stunning 101 in the 1st innings at Leeds to continue a stellar start to his Test career. The Mumbai star now has the chance to become the fastest Indian to 2000 Test runs. Currently, Sunil Gavaskar holds the record having reached the milestone in 23 Tests. the IND vs ENG Edgbaston game will be Yashasvi’s 21st and gives him a chance to etch himself in the history books.

Rishabh Pant eyes hat-trick of centuries

Rishabh Pant became only the second wicketkeeper to score twin centuries in a Test match. Now the left-hander could make it a hat-trick of centuries should he do well in Birmingham. Rahul Dravid scored a hat-trick of centuries in England in the 2002 series. The former India captain smashed 115 in Nottingham, followed by 148 at Leeds and a stunning 217 at The Oval. Rishabh in his last Test at Edgbaston scored 146 and 57 in 2022 and could replicate those heroics on current form.

Joe Root – Test cricket’s most successful catcher

Joe Root drew level with Rahul Dravid for the most catches as an outfielder in Test cricket. The England legend has 210 catches in 154 games, with Dravid having caught the same number in 164 Tests. One more catch will make the landmark his own and Root is almost certain to make it during the IND vs ENG 2nd Test.
