Overview

• Jaiswal has scored 817 runs in 11 innings against England and needs 183 in the second Test to reach 1,000 series runs in under 15 innings.
• With 1,903 Test runs at a 52.86 average, he requires 97 more runs to become the fastest Indian to 2,000 Test runs.
• Achieving both feats would surpass Don Bradman’s 13-innings record for 1,000 runs against England and Sunil Gavaskar’s 49-year-old 2,000-run Indian record.
• India trail 1–0 after a five-wicket loss at Headingley, where four top-order centuries were undone by lower-order collapses.
• The July 2–6 second Test at Edgbaston offers India a chance to reinforce batting depth and turn the series around.
