Jaiswal Falls 10 Runs Short of Breaking Rahul Dravid's Iconic Record

During the second Test at Edgbaston, Jaiswal needed 97 runs to reach the milestone in 39 innings, fastest by an Indian, going past Dravid, who took 40 innings for it.

However, he fell to England skipper Ben Stokes, who broke a rock-solid 66-run stand between him and skipper Shubman Gill. Jaiswal was back in the hut for a brilliant 107-ball 87, with 13 fours.

In 21 Tests and 39 innings, Jaiswal has made 1,990 runs at an average of 53.78, with five centuries and 11 fifties, with the best score of 214". In this series so far, he has 192 runs in three innings and two matches at an average of 64.00, with a century and a fifty each.

In the next innings, Jaiswal has an opportunity to equal Dravid's record. The fastest to 2,000 Test run mark is Australian legend Don Bradman, with 15 matches and 22 innings taken for it.

Jaiswsal's run against England has been outstanding so far, with 904 runs in seven Tests and 12 innings at an average of 82.18, with three centuries and four fifties, including a best score of 214".

A half-century stand between Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Shubman Gill drove India closer to the 200-run mark at the end of the second session on day one during the second Test against England at Birmingham on Wednesday.

Just when it seemed that the Gill-Jaiswal would end the session together, a Ben Stokes miracle finally arrived. Ball in the hand, the England skipper managed to get the edge of Jaiswal's bat caught by wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith.

Jaiswal walked back for a brilliant 87 in 107 balls, with India at 161/3 in 45.1 overs, ending a 66-run third-wicket stand.
