The Story in Brief
Yashasvi Jaiswal became only the third Indian to play his first 30 Tests at 30 different venues, joining Sachin Tendulkar and Sanjay Manjrekar. Jaiswal, who debuted in 2023, achieved the feat during the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. He scored 32 in the first innings.
India received a boost as vice-captain KL Rahul, who walked off with cramps on day one, will be fit to bat on day two, batting coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed. India’s next four Tests are in Colombo, Wellington, Christchurch and Nagpur, all new venues for Jaiswal.
The Indian Opinion
The record of playing first 30 Tests at different venues is a neat curiosity but risks being overplayed as a mark of greatness. Jaiswal has earned his place with 2,535 runs in 29 Tests, yet the statistic reflects modern cricket’s packed calendar as much as his versatility. The real test awaits in New Zealand later this year: can he adapt to swing and bounce as readily as he has to dust and pace?
