Yashasvi Jaiswal becomes first-ever player to achieve this remarkable milestone

India National Cricket Team batter Yashasvi Jaiswal achieved a massive feat in international cricket in 2024. The young batter became the first player to score 1000 runs this year across the two formats that he played.

India National Cricket Team star Yashasvi Jaiswal achieved the feat in the second T20I against the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team. The penultimate game of the series between the teams took place at the Pallekele International Stadium in Pallekele on Sunday (28th July).

Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his aggressive approach with the bat in the game as he helped his team win the second game and take an unassailable lead of 2-0. The opening batter came up with the attacking mindset and made sure he took his team off to a flying start with the bat in the chase of 78 runs in 8 overs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal went after the bowlers right from the start as he smashed them all over the park. The left-hander, who scored 40 runs in the first game, carried his great touch with the bat, ensuring a powerful start for his team yet again.

Yashasvi Jaiswal ended with the innings of 30 runs off 15 balls. He batted with a strike rate of 200 and slammed 3 fours and 2 sixes. His impressive start with the bat helped India chase the target in just 6.3 overs and go 2-0 up in the three-match T20I series.

Yashasvi Jaiswal in the 2024 has been sensational. The left-hander has scored 740 runs in Tests this year and is the leading run-getter in the format. He got all the runs in the Test series against England that took place earlier this year. In the T20Is, India's opening batter has scored 283 runs with a strike rate of over 175.

Overall in the 13 games in 2024, Yashasvi Jaiswal has been a class apart with the bat. The opening batter has slammed 1023 runs at an average of 64 and a strike rate of around 104. The opening batter also has hit two centuries and 5 fifties.

With a lot of cricket still left for India National Cricket Team in the ongoing year, it won't be a surprise if Yashasvi Jaiswal scores over 2000 runs in 2024.
