Yashasvi Jaiswal will create a new Test world record as soon as he hits 2 sixes.
The Indian team will begin its tour of Australia from November 22 in which it will have to play the first match of the 5-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy against the host team at the Optus Stadium in Perth. This test series is very important for the Indian team because they had to face a one-sided defeat in the three-match test series against New Zealand at home, so the path to reach the final of the World Test Championship 2023- 25 now can be very difficult. Team India will have to show a much better game in this series, in which the role of the opening batsmen becomes very important.

It is not going to be easy for Jaiswal to face the attack of the Australian mascot.
