Yashasvi Jaiswal is expected to achieve the feat in the ongoing IND vs ENG series. There are still two games left in the series. With the kind of batting display he has shown in the series, it won’t be a surprise if he achieves the feat in the next Test match in Ranchi.

Yashavi Jaiswal also became the leading run-getter in the series with 545 runs to his name from just 3 matches. The young batter is the only batter from India alongside Virat Kohli to score 500 runs in the Test series for India.
