India's first series in the 2023?25 World Test Championship cycle will be against the West Indies, however, it is unlikely that the selection committee would make any significant changes. For this Test series, only a handful of players are anticipated to be rested or dropped. Cheteshwar Pujara, a skilled player, is one of those who may be dropped. According to rumors, Yashasvi Jaiswal is in a strong position to take over the duties of the 35-year-old batting veteran.



Apart from Virat Kohli, India's top batter Cheteshwar Pujara is the only Indian cricketer in the team who has represented India in more than 100 Test matches. However, Pujara's place in the Test team once more appears in doubt following his two failures against Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final at the Oval in London last week.

Contrary to earlier speculations, Rohit Sharma is expected to remain the Test captain. "Every Test is important, and its result contributes to the World Test Championship (WTC) points table. We cannot experiment in a Test match," says a source cited by the website Cricbuzz.



In the last 40 innings, Pujara has only 1 century and 10 half-centuries with an average of around 29. Four of the team's top five batters?Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane?will retain their places in the lineup for the two Test matches in Dominica and Trinidad, while Cheteshwar Pujara's position is up in the air.



Yashasvi Jaiswal has been the buzz in the town ever since he amassed 625 runs with a strike rate of 164 during the IPL 2023. These numbers are indeed amazing, but they only tell part of the tale.

Yashasvi Jaiswal had a spectacular season, even when using traditional principles. He was the leader for the Rajasthan Royals in terms of runs (625), average (48.08), fifty-plus scores (six), fours (82), sixes (26), and also the only centurion of the team.



These are IPL numbers, but if we look at his first-class numbers, they are even more impressive. In a total of 26 innings, he has scored 1845 runs with an average of 80.21 and 9 centuries and 2 half centuries. His strike rate also remains around 70 and his highest score is 265.

Yashasvi Jaiswal To Replace Pujara In Test: Cricbuzz Reports

IND vs ENG 5th Test: India are set to lock horns against England in the 5th and last Test of the England Tour Of India 2024 and Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravindra Jadeja are on the doorstep of huge milestones individually.



England are on a tour of India and they were scheduled to play five test matches. Four of the five matches have been played and as expected, India have thrived in the show. Despite losing the first test of the series, India have won the series by winning consecutive three tests. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Yashasvi-Jaiswal-.jpg" alt="Yashasvi Jaiswal broke the 16-year-old record of former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag" class="wp-image-127129" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Yashasvi Jaiswal | IND vs ENG, 4th Test</figcaption></figure>



Yashasvi Jaiswal has come up as the best batsman among all in the series. He is also the highest run scorer (655) of the series with a healthy lead to Shubman Gill who is second with 342 runs in the tournament. 



Jaiswal has played 8 Test Matches for India and in 15 innings, he has scored 971 runs. He is just 29 runs away from 1000 runs. If he adds up 29 runs in either inning of the match, he will become the second-fastest Indian player to score one thousand runs in the Test after Vinod Kambli who did the job in 14 innings.



Jaiswal has been exceptional top of the order. He has amassed three big hundreds and three excellent fifties in his very young career and surely there are many to come.

Ravindra Jadeja, on the other hand, has been one among the most valuable players in the squad. His all-rounder ability has proven to be the savior for the side in this series. He has played 3 matches in this series and batted on 5 innings where he collected 217 runs with an average of over 43.



More than his batting, he has been more impressive with his bowling. He has taken 17 wickets in this series in 3 matches with an average of 25. He has bowled 127 overs and shares the second spot in the wicket-takers tally with Bumrah and Ravi Ashwin.



Jadeja has taken 292 wickets in a total of 71 matches in Test format. He is just 8 wickets short of becoming the seventh Indian and the third spinner to pick up 300 wickets in Test cricket.
