Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 2,567 Test runs at an average of 48.43 in 30 matches, with seven centuries and 13 fifties, plus 285 ODI runs, 723 T20I runs and 2,593 IPL runs as of August 2026. Born on 28 December 2001 in Suriyawan, Uttar Pradesh, the 24-year-old left-handed opener has gone from sleeping in a tent at Azad Maidan and selling pani puri to being one of the first names on India’s Test team sheet.
This page covers his full record across formats – Test, ODI, T20I, IPL and first-class – along with the records he holds and where his career stands after the 2026 Sri Lanka tour.
Yashasvi Jaiswal Career Stats at a Glance
| Format | Matches | Runs | Average | 100s | 50s | Highest Score |

Test figures are current through the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle (15-19 August 2026). His T20I strike rate is 164.31 and his IPL strike rate sits above 152, both well clear of the format averages for openers.
Jaiswal’s Test Career and Records
Jaiswal announced himself with 171 on Test debut against the West Indies in July 2023, taking the Player of the Match award. Since then he has become the most reliable opener India have produced since Virender Sehwag, and he has done it in almost every condition.
One record captures that range better than any average: he holds the unique distinction of scoring a hundred on his debut Test in three different countries – 171 in the West Indies, 161 at Perth against Australia, and 101 at Leeds against England. A second oddity emerged during the 2026 Sri Lanka tour: each of his first 30 Tests has been played at a different venue, a run of new grounds bettered only by Sanjay Manjrekar (33) and Sachin Tendulkar (32) among India players.
The 2024 England Series
The five-Test home series against England in early 2024 remains the peak of his career so far:
- 712 runs in nine innings at an average of 89 – the most by any India batter in a Test series against England, passing Virat Kohli’s 655.
- Back-to-back double centuries: 209 at Visakhapatnam and 214 not out at Rajkot.
- 20 sixes in the series – the most any batter has hit in a single Test series.
- Player of the Series, and only the second India batter after Sunil Gavaskar to pass 700 runs in a bilateral Test series.
Most Test Runs by an Indian in a Calendar Year
Jaiswal finished 2024 with 1,478 Test runs at an average of 54.74, the third-highest tally by an India batter in a calendar year and the highest ever by an Indian opener. He also hit 36 sixes in Test cricket during 2024, a world record for a calendar year.
| Runs | Player | Year |
|---|---|---|
| 1,562 | Sachin Tendulkar | 2010 |
| 1,555 | Sunil Gavaskar | 1979 |
| 1,478 | Yashasvi Jaiswal | 2024 |
| 1,462 | Virender Sehwag | 2008 |
| 1,422 | Virender Sehwag | 2010 |
Jaiswal’s ODI Record
Jaiswal’s ODI career is short but remarkable: 285 runs in six matches at an average of 71.25, with two hundreds and no fifties. He made 116 not out against South Africa in December 2025 and followed it with 110 off 86 balls against Afghanistan in June 2026, sharing a 170-run opening stand with Rohit Sharma as India completed a 3-0 sweep.
That second hundred made him the fastest India batter to two ODI centuries, reaching the mark in six innings and beating Shikhar Dhawan’s seven.
Jaiswal’s T20I Record
In 23 T20Is Jaiswal has made 723 runs at 36.15 with a strike rate of 164.31, one century and five fifties. He debuted against the West Indies in August 2023 and scored his only T20I hundred that October – 100 off 48 balls against Nepal at the Asian Games, making him the youngest India batter to score a T20I century at 21 years and nine months.
He was, however, left out of India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2026, an omission that drew public criticism from former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar among others. The selectors’ reasoning centred on Abhishek Sharma being locked in as the attacking left-handed opener, with Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Rinku Singh covering the wicketkeeping and finishing roles – leaving no slot for a second specialist top-order left-hander.
Yashasvi Jaiswal IPL Stats
Jaiswal has played his entire IPL career for the Rajasthan Royals since 2020: 83 matches, 2,593 runs at an average of 33.68, two centuries, 18 fifties and a highest score of 124. Rajasthan secured him for Rs 18 crore ahead of the 2026 season. That fee puts him joint-seventh among the highest paid IPL players in 2026, one of nine players on ₹18 crore, which is also the ceiling on what any overseas player can be paid from a mini-auction.
His breakout came in 2023, when he made 625 runs at a strike rate above 163 and was named Emerging Player of the tournament. In IPL 2026 he scored 426 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 153.24, holding the Orange Cap in the early weeks of the season and reaching one half-century in just 23 balls during a rain-shortened 11-over game in Guwahati. His IPL earnings are covered in more detail in our breakdown of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s net worth, alongside those of India team-mates such as Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant.
Domestic and First-Class Record
Jaiswal has played first-class cricket for Mumbai since making his Ranji Trophy debut in 2018-19. His first-class record stands at 50 matches, 4,867 runs at 55.30, with 17 centuries and a highest score of 265 – that double against Saurashtra coming during the 2021-22 season, when he scored three consecutive hundreds and carried Mumbai to the final.
In List A cricket he still holds a record set before he turned 18: on 16 October 2019, aged 17 years and 292 days, he scored 203 off 154 balls against Jharkhand in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, becoming the youngest double centurion in the history of List A cricket.
Early Career and Youth Records
Jaiswal moved to Mumbai at the age of 10 to pursue cricket. He briefly lived in a dairy shop in exchange for work before being turned out for missing shifts to practise, then spent months living in a tent at Azad Maidan and selling pani puri to support himself. Coach Jwala Singh spotted his talent and became his mentor and legal guardian.
He first drew national attention in 2015, scoring 319 not out and taking 13 wickets for 99 runs in a single Giles Shield match – an Indian schools record. His youth career followed the same pattern:
- Under-19 Asia Cup 2018: leading run-scorer with 318 runs, Player of the Tournament.
- Youth Test cricket: 173 against South Africa.
- Under-19 World Cup 2020: leading run-scorer with 400 runs and Player of the Tournament, with India finishing runners-up.

Batting Style and Technique
Jaiswal is a left-handed opener with an open, balanced stance and quick feet, which lets him get forward to seam and use his crease against spin. He scores heavily square of the wicket on both sides and is unusually willing to take on short bowling, which is where a large share of those record six-hitting tallies come from.
What separates him from other aggressive openers is format discipline. His Test strike rate sits near 70 while his T20I rate is above 164 – the same player, two entirely different tempos. He has credited conversations with senior team-mates including Rohit Sharma for sharpening his shot selection under pressure, and his current India role sits alongside a top order that now features Shubman Gill as Test captain.
