IND vs ENG: Yashasvi Jaiswal misses out on breaking star Indian cricketer's 26-year-old record by...
Yashasvi Jaiswal. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Indian team's young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has missed out on a big achievement in his Test career. This left-handed batsman had a chance to complete the fastest 2000 Test runs for India in the first innings of the second Test being played against England at Edgbaston. But Yashasvi could not do so by just 10 runs. Whose record could have been broken by Yashasvi Jaiswal? Yashasvi got out after scoring 87 runs. So now he has 1990 runs in 39 innings of Tests. If he had scored 10 more runs, he would have become the fastest Indian to score 2000 runs. By doing this, Yashasvi would have also broken the record of Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag. Sehwag-Dravid had achieved this feat in 40 innings. Now if Yashasvi has done it in 39 innings only. Who are the two players and when did they achieve their record? Rahul Dravid did this feat against New Zealand in Hamilton in 1999 and Virender Sehwag did this feat against Australia in Chennai in 2004. Yashasvi made his Test debut against West Indies in July 2023 at Roseau and has scored 1990 runs in 39 innings so far. His average is 52.86. Who are the fastest Indian batters to score 2000 Test runs? Rahul Dravid – 40 innings (New Zealand, Hamilton, 1999) Virender Sehwag 40 innings (Australia, Chennai, 2001) Vijay Hazare – 43 innings (West Indies, Port of Spain, 1953) Gautam Gambhir – 43 innings (New Zealand, Napier, 2009) Sunil Gavaskar – 44 innings (West Indies, Port of Spain, 1976) How was Yashasvi Jaiswal's performance? Yashasvi had performed brilliantly in the first Test as well and scored 101 runs (159 balls, 16 fours and 1 six) in the first innings. However, in the second innings, he could score only 4 runs and was dismissed by Brydon Curse. However, after contributing in batting, Jaiswal will also have to focus on his fielding. In the Leeds Test, he dropped four easy catches which affected the result of the match.

Gautam Gambhir Holds Intense Chat With Yashasvi Jaiswal In Nets, Unhappy With Slip Catching: Report
Yashasvi Jaiswal might have gone on to score a century in the first Test against England at Leeds, but the management isn't quite happy with the player's overall performance. Though there's no denying that Jaiswal is among the finest all-format batters in the game, his fielding remains a work in progress. Against England in the Test series opener, Jaiswal dropped as many as four catches, giving the hosts priceless lifelines to keep themselves in the game. Ahead of the second Test, however, India head coach Gautam Gambhir is trying to ensure such mistakes don't happen again. India's 5-wicket defeat in the first Test was primarily due to poor fielding in the game, with Jaiswal being the biggest culprit of all. Ahead of the second Test in Edgbaston, Gambhir spent a lengthy session with Jaiswal, teaching him about close catches. However, a report in RevSportz claimed that the coach didn't look happy with Jaiswal at all. The head coach also reportedly had an animated chat with the opening batter about his catching. But, it looks all but set that Jaiswal's fielding role in the team is set to be demoted. India's assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate spoke tothe media on Monday, hinting that Jaiswal would be removed from the slip-catching role. "We always want depth in the catching department. In England, you're always going to have four catchers at some stage in the game. Yashasvi has been a very good catcher for us," he said. "There's also an argument for the short leg being a very important position, particularly if we are going to play two spinners. And we want to pick more guys in that position. "And maybe just give Yashasvi a break from catching in the gully for a little while. His hands are quite sore. We want to get his confidence back up," the Dutchman added. With India hoping to bounce back in the series by winning the second game, Jaiswal's performance, both with the bat and in the field, is set to play a crucial role.

In a proud and historic moment for the Indian Navy, Lieutenant Commander Yashasvi Solanki has become the first woman officer from the Indian Navy to be appointed as Aide-De-Camp (ADC) to the President of India. Breaking barriers and setting a powerful example, Lieutenant Commander Yashasvi Solanki's appointment marks a significant step forward, as no woman from the Navy has ever held this esteemed position before. Hailing from Bharuch, Gujarat, Yashasvi was appointed to the role in April 2025 and then subsequently underwent about a month-long orientation and training. She was formally presented the characteristic 'Aiguillette' by the President on May 9, representing the formal declaration of an Aide-De-Camp (ADC). According to the AajTak report, Solanki will serve in this prestigious role for the next two and a half to three years. During this time, she will accompany the President at all times during official programs, meetings, and ceremonial events, providing continuous support and assistance. Yashasvi Solanki's appointment inspires millions of young girls. It is a powerful reminder that women are increasingly taking their rightful place in the defence and leadership structures of the nation, breaking barriers and establishing a presence where it truly matters. According to the AajTak report, Yashasvi Solanki mentioned that the role demands thorough preparation ahead of every presidential engagement, including staying informed about the guests and upcoming events. It's essential, she explained, because briefing the President is part of the responsibility, and any question can come her way. She also reflected on how unexpected this opportunity was for her, admitting that becoming the President's ADC was never something she had envisioned or even considered, simply because it didn't seem within reach.

Man dies as car goes up in flames after colliding with truck on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway
Gurgaon: A man was charred to death after his car collided with a truck on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway near Haryana's Nuh district on Tuesday evening. The impact caused the car to overturn and burst into flames. Forty-year-old Yashasvi Sharma , a resident of Noida, was unable to escape in time as the car flipped multiple times before being gutted. The incident took place around 7.30pm when Yashasvi's WagonR coming from Ferozepur Jhirka towards the expressway lost control and collided with the truck, 5km before an intersection near Ujina village, police said on Wednesday. The accident was caused when the truck moving ahead of the car suffered a mechanical failure — "a tire came off" — which led to the collision, police said. "The car reportedly lost control, flipped multiple times and caught fire," Jaisinghpur police outpost in-charge Mahesh Kumar said. The truck driver fled the scene after the accident. Based on a complaint from the victim's family, a case has been registered against the unidentified truck driver. Police recovered the body from inside the vehicle. The remains were sent to Nalhar Medical College for postmortem. After eyewitnesses alerted the police and the fire department, the latter managed to douse the flames following a two-hour-long operation. However, by the time the fire was brought under control, the car had been completely gutted. The body was handed over to Yashasvi's family after autopsy. An eyewitness said, "There was a major traffic jam after the accident. When I went ahead, I saw the car completely engulfed in flames. The police later recovered a completely burnt body from inside the car," he said.
