India are currently taking on New Zealand in the second Test of the three-match series at the Maharastra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. This has not been the most memorable Test for India as they are staring at a second successive defeat, and could also result in their first series defeat at home after more than 12 years. However, the one player who has managed to impress once again has been Yasahasvi Jaiswal.

The young opener slammed 77 in the second innings for India, and with this has managed to achieve a feat that has not been achieved by the likes of Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar as well

With his 77-run knock, Yashasvi Jaiswal now has scored 1025 runs in 2024 at home in India. This is now the third time that an Indian batter has managed to slam 1000 Test runs home in a single calendar year. The only two other Indians to achieve this frat was Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Vishwanath, both of whom scored 1047 and 1013 runs respectively in 1979.
