Yashasvi Jaiswal, this is a name which has been resonating in Test cricket throughout this year. The mention of many things like runs, records and average has revolved around the name of this batsman. And, now the situation is such that when the year is nearing its end, Yashasvi Jaiswal is moving towards achieving that feat, which can take him even ahead of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar. But, for this the success of 'Mission 283' is necessary. If Yashasvi's mission becomes reality in the next 3 matches of the Test series against Australia, then surely no one will be ahead of him.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's 'Mission 283'

Now you might be wondering what is this 'Mission 283'? This mission is related to the highest number of test runs scored in a calendar year. At present the Indian record in this matter is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar. But, due to the way Yashasvi's bat has made noise so far in the year 2024, Sachin's record is in danger. Yashasvi needs 283 runs to break the same record of Sachin.

Indian record in the name of Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar set an Indian record of scoring 1562 runs in a calendar year by playing 23 Tests in the year 2010. Sachin had scored 5 half-centuries and 7 centuries while playing at an average of 78.1. Through this, Sachin broke the record of 1482 runs made by Virender Sehwag in a calendar year in 2008.

Virat kept breaking Sachin's record.

Sachin Tendulkar's record has stood for 14 years. Although in 2018, Virat Kohli came very close to breaking it but he failed. He then scored 1322 runs in 24 Tests at an average of 55.08, which included 5 centuries and 5 half-centuries.

Yashasvi currently has 1280 runs in 23 tests.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 1280 runs in 23 tests played so far in 2024. While scoring these runs at an average of 58.18, he has also scored 3 centuries and 7 half-centuries. In such a situation, he has a chance to overtake Virat Kohli, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar. He can become the Indian batsman to score the most Test runs in a calendar year.

History can be created in 3 tests, 6 innings

The good thing is that there are still 3 Tests i.e. 6 innings left for Yashasvi Jaiswal to play this year to break Sachin Tendulkar's record that has been standing for 14 years. He has made his form felt by scoring a century in his first Test played on Australian soil. Now, if the same form continues in the next 6 innings, then there is no question that Sachin Tendulkar will not score the required 283 runs to break his record.
