Team India registered a miraculous victory in the Kanpur Test. Due to rain in Kanpur, only two and a half days of play was possible, but despite this, Team India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets. In this way, Team India also clean swept Bangladesh 2-0 in the Test series. Yashasvi Jaiswal proved to be the number 1 batsman in this brilliant series win of Team India. This left-handed batsman scored the highest 189 runs in the series. He scored half-centuries in three out of four innings and his batting average was 47.25. Jaiswal played half-century innings in both the innings of the Kanpur Test. By the way, amidst so many great innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal also broke a big record.
As soon as Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a fifty in the second innings of the Kanpur Test, he became the player to score the most number of 50+ runs in a year in domestic Tests. Jaiswal has played 8 innings of more than fifty runs in domestic Tests this year. Gundappa Vishwanath was the first to score 50+ runs 7 times in a year in 1979. Sehwag, Pujara and Rahul also managed to do this feat 7 times each but it was Jaiswal who left Vishwanath behind.
Yashasvi Jaiswal received the Player of the Match award for his excellent innings in the Kanpur Test. After winning this award, Jaiswal said that he was just thinking of doing well for the team.

He has scored 1217 runs in just 11 matches at an average of more than 64. Jaisawal has scored 3 centuries and 7 half-centuries so far. Talking about the year 2024, Jaisawal has scored 929 runs at an average of 66.35 and the amazing thing is that his strike rate is also more than 80. Jaisawal has played four Test series so far and runs have come from his bat in three. He scored the most runs in the home series against England. He did the same against Bangladesh. He scored 266 runs on the West Indies tour, he just failed in South Africa but the way this player is scoring runs, it is expected that Jaisawal will soon explode on fast pitches as well.
