IND Vs ENG: Yashasvi Jaiswal Equals Virat Kohli’s Mindblowing Feat

Yashasvi Jaiswal's remarkable performance in the 2024 India vs. England series saw him equal Virat Kohli's record with 655 runs, making them joint-second-highest run-getters. India secured victory, marking their 17th consecutive series win at home, with Jaiswal playing a pivotal role.

In the home Test series against England in Ranchi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, the Indian opener, matched Virat Kohli’s impressive record, becoming the joint-second-highest Indian run-scorer with 655 runs. However, Jaiswal’s innings came to an end on the fourth day of the 4th Test when he was caught by Joe Root off James Anderson’s delivery with a spectacular diving catch at backward point.
