India's young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal became just the fifth batter to score 1,000 Test runs in a calendar year before turning 23
During India's second Test against New Zealand in Pune, Jaiswal aged 22, smashed 30 runs off 60 deliveries which was laced with 4 fours
The left-hander's 30-run knock was enough to take his overall tally to 1,000 runs in the longest format of the game in 2024
After crossing the landmark feat, Jaiswal entered an exclusive club that features four cricketing icons apart from him such as Garfield Sobers, Graeme Smith, AB de Villiers and Alastair Cook
With this Jaiswal also became the second cricketer after Joe Root to complete 1,000 Test runs in 2024
Overall, the 22-year-old opener has scored 1,007 runs in 10 Test matches in 2024 at a whopping average of 59.23 and striking aggressively at 75.88
