The first batter in history to achieve such a unique record in Tests

Yashasvi Jaiswal Record Ind vs Aus Perth Test: Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and K.L. Rahul gave a batting masterclass on the second day of the first Test of the IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Test series in Perth. The duo demolished Australia’s formidable fast bowling attack to rewrite the record books.

Rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the batter with the most sixes in a single calendar year in Test cricket. During his unbeaten 84 from 193 balls, including 7 fours and 2 sixes, Jaiswal surpassed former Kiwi pacer Brendon McCullum’s record of 33 sixes in 2014.

Jaiswal’s second six innings ensured his place in history, helping India build a 218-run lead at stumps on day two. K.L. Rahul contributed with an unbeaten 62 as the duo formed an unbroken opening partnership of 172 runs.
