Young India batter Yashasvi Jaswal is only 132 runs away from scripting history in the ongoing cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC). 

Jaiswal will have the opportunity to inscribe his name in the history book in the forthcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, starting 19th September in Chennai. 

Jaiswal, who has 1028 runs in the World Test Championship 2023-25, will become the first Indian batter with the maximum number of runs in a single edition of the WTC if he can score 132 runs in the two Test-series against Bangladesh. The batter is expected to open the innings in the Test-series.

Yashasvi who can overtake former India captain Rohit Sharma who scored 1159 runs in the WTC 2019-21 cycle will be one of the three Indian batters, alongside Rahane and Rohit, to score 1000 runs in a single WTC cycle.

Jaiswal is joint-second in the WTC 2023-25 scoring charts, tied with England Ben Duckett on 1,028 runs.

However, he needs just 371 runs to top Joe Root at the top, with the latter currently leading the race with 1,398 runs.

The Indian cricket team currently leads the WTC standings with a point percentage 68.52. Their upcoming WTC series includes Bangladesh (two Tests at home), New Zealand (three Tests at home), and Australia (five Tests away).
