The India opener reached the mark in Galle against Sri Lanka on Saturday. Sanjay Manjrekar played his first 33 Tests at different grounds. Jaiswal has scored 2,567 runs in 55 innings, including seven centuries and 13 fifties, at an average of 48.43. His landmark match ended with a run-out for 32 after a collision with debutant Keshara Nuwantha and a mix-up with KL Rahul. Replays showed Rahul reached the crease first.
