IND vs ENG: Jaiswal will create history by scoring 120 runs in Dharamshala Test, will break Gavaskar’s 53 year old record
Sunil Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal. (Image Source: BCCI) India are set to face England in the fifth and final Test of the series at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala from March 7. India have already taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series thanks to their five-wicket win at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. This series will be remembered for a long time in cricket history. In fact, in this series against England, the Indian team managed to overcome the obstacles and eliminate the menace of ‘buzzball’. Many senior players of Team India were not available in this series, due to which four players got a chance to debut. While some players took advantage of that opportunity, some players could not capitalize on that opportunity. Yashasvi Jaiswal would like to break Sunil Gavaskar’s record in Dharamsala test match Talking about the upcoming match, Team India’s opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal will have his eyes on creating history in this match. Jaiswal has performed brilliantly in this series so far. So far, he has scored 655 runs in 8 innings of 4 matches with an excellent average of 93.57. His best score during this period has been 214 runs unbeaten. If Jaiswal is successful in scoring 120 runs in both the innings of the Dharamshala Test, then the record of scoring the most runs in a series as an Indian batsman will be registered in his name. This record is still in the name of former veteran player of Team India, Sunil Gavaskar. Sunil Gavaskar has crossed the 700-run mark twice in a Test series. The Little Master scored 774 runs in 4 matches at an impressive average of 154.80 during the Test series against West Indies in 1971. In the series played in 1978, he scored 732 runs in 6 matches with an average of 91.50. No one has been able to break this record of Sunil Gavaskar for the last 53 years. Virat Kohli definitely came close to him but he could not break Gavaskar’s record.

He scored 90 runs in the first innings and remained unbeaten on 39 runs in the second innings. Jurel received the Player of the Match award for his excellent batting and wicketkeeping in both the innings. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar was also very happy to see this performance of Dhruv Jurel. He compared the young wicketkeeper to MS Dhoni. However, Sourav Ganguly is not happy with his statement and has now given a strong reply to Jurel’s comparison with Dhoni. Sourav Ganguly’s opinion on comparison between MS Dhoni and Dhruv Jurel While talking to RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “MS Dhoni is a player in a different league. There is no doubt that Jurel has talent…but it took 15-20 years for MS Dhoni to become MS Dhoni. So let him (Jurel) play. His ability impressed me the most. His ability to play spinners, his ability to play against fast bowlers. His ability to play under pressure is what you want to see in a young player. He also has a good temperament.” In fact, during the commentary in the fourth Test match, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Of course he has batted well, but his keeping and his work behind the stumps have been equally excellent. Looking at his sporting awareness, I want to say that he is the second emerging MS Dhoni. I know there can never be another MSD, but you know he has the presence of mind, MSD was like that when he started and Jurel has the awareness of the game. He is a street-smart cricketer.” Let us tell you that the fifth and last match of the series will be played from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala.

(Photo Source: X(Twitter) Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly expressed surprise at Ishan Kishan’s decision not to play Ranji Trophy this season after being dropped from the BCCI’s central contract. BCCI recently announced the central contract, in which big players like Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were not included. Kishan had declared himself unavailable for domestic cricket after the South Africa Test series. Kishan had taken a break from domestic and international cricket due to mental fatigue. In an interview with RevSports, when Ganguly was asked about Kishan not playing Ranji Trophy, he replied. Ganguly said, “You should play first class cricket. Once you become a contracted player, you are expected to play in premier tournaments. Shreyas Iyer is going to play in the semi-finals for Mumbai in a few days. Yes, they are young people and Ishaan has surprised me. He was a part of the Indian team in all formats. Such a big contract in IPL. I don’t know why they did this. You should play especially when you are talented like Ishan Kishan. When you are playing for India in all formats, you must play. I was surprised by his decision not to play.” Furthermore, Ganguly also supported BCCI’s decision to drop both Shreyas and Ishan from the central contracts. BCCI’s decision regarding Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer is absolutely right – Sourav Ganguly He further said, “I think BCCI wants him to play first class cricket. I am surprised that Shreyas Iyer has not played Ranji Trophy. This is a major tournament and you should play. So, it is BCCI’s decision and they have done the right thing. “Every contracted cricketer should play first-class cricket because that is the foundation of cricket in this country.” The BCCI’s decision to exclude players like Kishan and Iyer from central contracts can be seen as a measure to emphasize the importance of first-class cricket. While Iyer is playing the Ranji Trophy semi-final match for Mumbai, Kishan was also seen playing the match with Hardik Pandya in the DY Patil T-20 Cup 2024.

Sunil Gavaskar and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Getty Images/X) After winning the fourth test match against England, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has given his comment on the recent statement of current India captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit had said after the Ranchi Test match that now only those people will get a place in the team who have the hunger to play Test cricket. Now Sunil Gavaskar also seems to agree with this statement of Rohit Sharma to a great extent. During the press conference, Rohit Sharma had said, “Test cricket is the toughest format. And if you want success and want to excel in this tough format then you need that hunger. It is very important. We will only give chances to players who have that hunger. “You can tell just by looking at those who are not hungry.” Sunil Gavaskar came in support of Rohit Sharma Whereas Sunil Gavaskar believes that whatever Rohit Sharma said is right. He agreed with the Indian captain’s claim that players aspiring to participate in Test cricket should be assessed on the basis of their commitment considering the success, fame and recognition they have achieved in Indian cricket. During a conversation on Sports Tak, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘He is absolutely right. You see those who want to play Test cricket. I’ve been saying this for years. Whatever the players are, they are because of Indian cricket. The stage he is at in his life and career is all because of Indian cricket. The money, fame and recognition he has received is because of Indian cricket. So you have to show some loyalty towards Indian cricket.” He further said that, if you don’t show up for any reason and say ‘I won’t play’, then Rohit is absolutely right that those who have the hunger, who are willing to put in the effort, will be given more opportunities in the future. . If the selectors continue to have this attitude then it will be good for Indian cricket. We have seen many players being picked and selected, this should not happen.
