In a remarkable display of talent, rising Indian star Yashasvi Jaiswal has outshone Virat Kohli's record of scoring 655 runs against England in a Test series. This impressive feat was achieved during the fifth Test match against the same opposition, which took place at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.
Jaiswal's exceptional performance has now placed him within striking distance of Sunil Gavaskar's record of 774 runs - the highest by an Indian in a Test series. He is just 36 runs away from surpassing Kohli's 692 runs against Australia in the 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar series held in Australia. Jaiswal's remarkable achievement has solidified his position as a promising young talent in the world of cricket.
