Yashasvi Jaiswal created history in the second innings of the second test for India against England at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham as he made a knock of 28 runs in just 22 balls while putting up a 50-run opening partnership with KL Rahul.

While Jaiswal was dismissed before stumps on Day 2, he left a big mark on the match by achieving a huge record and establishing his name in the list of legends while also giving India a solid start in their bid to set England a huge target after taking a 180-run first innings lead.

Jaiswal completed 2000 runs in Test cricket on Friday (July 4) and shattered a record that Sunil Gavaskar held for nearly five decades. The Indian opener reached the milestone in just 21 matches, which is the quickest by any Indian and Asian player in history.

Players	Matches	Innings	Year Completed
Yashasvi Jaiswal	21	40	1976
Sunil Gavaskar	23	44	2025
Javed Miandad	24	42	1979
Gautam Gambhir	24	43	2009
Rahul Dravid	25	40	1999
Virender Sehwag	25	40	2004
Saeed Ahmed	25	48	1964

Across the world, only five players have reached the milestone quicker than Jaiswal by matches. Don Bradman took the least number of games (15) and is followed by George Headley (17). Herbert Sutcliffe(22), Michael Hussey (20), and Marnus Labuschagne (20).

Jaiswal is also the joint-quickest by innings (40) among Indian and Asian players alongside Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid. He is also the only player from the continent to reach the milestone within two years of his debut. Across the globe, there have been only three players to complete the milestone before the 2nd anniversary of their first test appearance.

Last year, Jaiswal had also become the quickest Indian to complete 1000 Test runs by matches (9) and the second-quickest by innings (16) behind Vinod Kambli.

The 23-year-old is also the second-youngest Indian to reach the milestone after Sachin Tendulkar.
