Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal has been remarkably incredible in his relatively short Test career and during Day 2 of the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai on Friday, he added a great achievement to his name. In the first innings, Jaiswal scored 56 but failed to achieve a huge score of 10 in the second innings which did not prevent him from being recognized as the first Indian batter who reached such an extraordinary milestone. Nachis first 10 matches Jaiswal has made 1094 runs which is unprecedented for any Indian cricket player. He also became among the first Indian batsmen to break through 1000 runs after 10 matches where previously it belonged to Sunil Gavaskar (978 runs).
Overall, Don Bradman holds the record as he scored 1446 runs in his first 10 matches.
