Jaiswal Surpasses Virat Kohli in Indian Test Series Run Record Against England

During the ongoing fifth Test match against England in Dharamsala, young Indian sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal surpassed Virat Kohli’s record of 655 runs in a Test series against the same opposition. Jaiswal’s tally now stands at 656 runs, edging him closer to Sunil Gavaskar’s Indian record of 774 runs in a Test series. He is just 36 runs shy of eclipsing Kohli’s 692 runs achieved in the 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar series in Australia.

Sunil Gavaskar holds the top two spots in the list of most runs by an Indian in a Test series, with 774 runs against West Indies in 1970-71 and 732 runs against the same opposition in 1978-79. Following him are Virat Kohli’s 692 runs against Australia in 2014-15, and now, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s ongoing tally of 656 runs against England in 2024. Kohli also features again with 655 runs against England in 2016-17.
