Talented India Youngster on the Brink of Breaking Massive Sachin Tendulkar Record in Border Gavaskar Trophy

India will next face the Aussies in a Day/Night Test to be played in Adelaide from Dec 6.

The Indian team will be eyeing to secure another win, when they lock horns with the Aussies in the second Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test in Adelaide after taking a 1-0 lead in the five-match contest. The Men in Blue secured a thumping win by 295 runs in Perth and will now hope to extend their lead in the upcoming day/night Test.

However, ahead of the contest, a talented Indian batting star will also be aiming to eclipse a big record held by Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

Sensational India opener Yashasvi Jaiwasal might just be 22-years-old but has been smashing records ever since his foray. After dominating the home conditions for the majority of the year in the longest format, he slew the Aussies in the first Test match in Perth with a brilliant 161.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is now only 282 runs short of surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the highest number of Test runs by an Indian in a single calendar year.

For the unversed, with 1,788 runs in 11 games and 19 innings at an average of 99.33 in 2006, Pakistani batting great Mohammed Yousuf holds the record for most Test runs in a calendar year.
