Yashasvi Jaiswal entered the history books after batting in both innings of the ongoing first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai on Friday, September 20. He was dismissed on a low score in the second innings but bagged a historic milestone to his ever-growing records in red-ball cricket.
Playing in his 10th Test match, Jaiswal scored 56 and 10 runs across two innings at MA Chidambaram Stadium. He emerged as India's best batsman after playing his first 10 Test matches as he broke the legendary Sunil Gavaskar's 51-year-old record to create history.
Jaiswal has scored 1,094 runs in 10 Test matches, the most runs for India after the first 10 matches and the overall fourth-highest in Test cricket history. Gavaskar, who enjoyed a red-hot start to his Test career, had scored 978 runs in his first 10 Test matches in 1973.

- 1446 runs - Don Bradman (Australia)
- 1125 runs - Everton Weekes (West Indies)
- 1102 runs - George Headley (West Indies)
- 1094 runs - Yashasvi Jaiswal (India)
