IND vs AUS pink ball test. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is in supreme form, can break Joe Root's big record in the Adelaide Test. Such a record, which legends like Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma are nowhere near. Australian legend Steve Smith or New Zealand superstar Kane Williamson are also nowhere to be seen. This is the record of Joe Root for scoring the most runs in the year 2024.
2024 has been a golden year for Yashasvi Jaiswal. Not only are they scoring runs, but the speed with which they are scoring has given sleepless nights to the opponents. 35 sixes in just 12 test matches are witness to this. Yashasvi Jaiswal can now become the highest run scoring batsman in the year 2024. For this he needs to score at least 82 runs. However, it is not going to be that easy. Reason- India vs Australia and England vs New Zealand are starting on the same date. In such a situation, if Yashasvi gets a chance to leave Joe Root behind, then the English batsman also has a chance to take his runs forward.
Talking about the batsmen who scored the most runs in the year 2024, Joe Root is at first and Yashasvi Jaiswal is at second place. Joe Root has scored 1361 runs in 15 tests this year at an average of 56.70. Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 1280 runs in 12 tests in 2024 at an average of 58.18. England's Ben Duckett is at third place with 1042 runs. No other batsman in the world has been able to touch the figure of one thousand runs so far this year. Kamindu Mendis (966), Harry Brook (921) and Rachin Ravindra (913) are close to one thousand runs. Don't be surprised if Ollie Pope (877) and Shubman Gill (806) also touch the thousand run mark.
Among the legends included in the Fab Four, Kane Williamson has scored the most runs after Joe Root. He has 772 runs in his name in 7 matches in 2024. Virat Kohli has scored 355 runs in the same number of matches. Steve Smith is miles away from Joe Root after scoring 230 runs in 6 matches. Rohit Sharma has played 11 tests this year, in which he has scored 588 runs in his name.
The second test match between India and Australia is to be held in Adelaide from 6th December. A few hours before this, there will be a match between New Zealand and England. If England bats first and Joe Root plays a good innings, then Yashasvi Jaiswal's task may become difficult. On the other hand, if England bats later and India bats first, then Yashasvi Jaiswal can leave Joe Root behind by playing a good innings. India still has to play 3 Test matches this year and England has to play 2 Test matches.
