Yashasvi Jaiswal leaves Virat Kohli behind to achieve this huge feat

In an outstanding display of flair, up and coming Indian star Yashasvi Jaiswal has surpassed Virat Kohli’s record of amassing 655 runs against England in a test series. The remarkable feat was achieved during the fifth and final test match against the same opponent, which took place at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. 

Jaiswal’s remarkable performance has now placed him within striking distance of Sunil Gavaskar’s record of 774 runs- the most by an Indian in a Test series. With 712 runs Jaiswal has already shattered Virat Kohli’s record of 692 runs against Australia in the 2014/15 Border-Gavaskar series held down under. Jaiswal’s noteworthy achievement has consolidated his position as an exciting young prospect in global cricket.
