Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif believes Yashasvi Jaiswal has the talent and patience to break Virender Sehwag’s iconic triple-century record in Test cricket.
Mohammed Kaif lauded Jaiswal’s hunger for big runs and called him one of India’s most reliable young openers after his brilliant century against West Indies in Delhi.
The 23-year-old left-hander scored a fluent 175 before a mix-up ended his innings. His effort helped India dominate early in the second Test.
Kaif compared Jaiswal’s early Test numbers with legends like Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar, saying his centuries often lead India to victory.
Virender Sehwag remains the only Indian with two triple centuries in Tests — 309 vs Pakistan in 2004 and 319 vs South Africa in 2008. Kaif feels Jaiswal could be the next.
With seven Test hundreds before turning 24, Jaiswal is matching records of greats like Graeme Smith and Sachin Tendulkar, showing he’s built for greatness.
