The first match of the Test series between India and Bangladesh has started. Which the Indian team won by 280 runs. The second match of the series will be played in Kanpur from September 27. Both the teams will reach there soon for this. In the first match, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's bat could not perform the way he is known for, but now he has come very close to former England Test captain Joe Root. He has a chance to overtake Joe Root in the Kanpur Test.
If the route is in the first place
England's Joe Root is the highest run-scorer in the World Test Championship this season. Root has so far scored 1398 runs in 29 innings of 16 matches. Here his average is 53.76 and he is scoring runs at a strike rate of around 62. After this, India's Yashasvi Jaiswal is in second place. He has so far scored 1094 runs in 18 innings of 10 Tests. Meaning, if Jaiswal has to go ahead of Root, then he will have to score a little more than 300 runs from here.
Jaiswal will have to play a big innings in the Kanpur Test
The good thing for Yashasvi Jaiswal is that the Kanpur Test will start from September 27. He will have a chance to score runs, while talking about Root, he will take the field on the 7th of next month i.e. in October, when England will play the first Test against Pakistan. Joe Root will play three Tests in October, while Yashasvi Jaiswal will also play three Tests against New Zealand. That means the match here will be almost equal, it will be interesting to see who wins.
Jaiswal scored 56 runs in the first innings
Jaiswal scored 56 runs in the first innings of the Test against Bangladesh. Where he faced 118 balls. Jaiswal hit nine fours during his innings. His bat remained silent in the second innings. Here he could score only 10 runs in 17 balls. Where he hit two fours. Now it remains to be seen how he performs in the second Test.
