The Indian team will begin their tour of Australia from November 22 where they will play the first match of the 5-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy against the hosts at the Optus Stadium in Perth. This Test series is very important for Team India as they suffered a one-sided loss in the three-match Test series against New Zealand at home, paving the way for the final of the World Test Championship 2023. 25 can be very difficult now. Team India will have to perform better in this series, in which the role of the opening batsmen becomes very important.
Team India has seen young left-handed opening batsman Yashshwi Jaiswal perform very well in Tests in 2024, and is expected to do the same with the bat in this series against Australia, although it is on pitches where facing the Australian pet attack will not be an easy task for Jaiswal. .
Jaiswal can create history in the Perth Test
The three-match Test series against New Zealand didn’t go well for Yashaswi Jaiswal with the bat, failing to score a single century. So far in his Test career, Jaiswal has scored 1407 runs in 14 matches at an excellent average of 56, in which three centuries have also been seen. The year 2024 has also been good for Yashaswi, who has impressed everyone with his aggressive batting in Tests. Yashaswi’s bat has so far hit 32 sixes in Test cricket in the year 2024, in which if he manages to hit 2 more sixes in the Perth Test, he will break the record of former New Zealand captain and veteran wicketkeeper batsman Brendon McCullum to create a world record. Currently, the record for most sixes in a year in Tests is held by McCullum who hit a total of 33 sixes in the year 2014, so Jaiswal needs only 2 more sixes to break this record.
Players who have hit the most sixes in a year in Test cricket
Brendon McCullum – 33 sixes (2014)
Yashshwi Jaiswal – 32 Sixers (Year 2024)
Ben Stokes – 26 Sixes (Year 2022)
Adam Gilchrist – 22 Sixers (2005)
