NEW DELHI: Gun opener Yashasvi Jaiswal<\/a> leads the list of India’s highest run-scorers in Test cricket in the year 2024.
In 2024, Jaiswal amassed 1,478 runs in 15 Tests and 29 innings at an average of 54.74.
This achievement made him India’s top Test run-scorer for the year and placed him second globally, narrowly missing Sachin Tendulkar<\/a>‘s record for the most Test runs by an Indian in a calendar year.
In early 2024, during a home Test series against England, Jaiswal scored back-to-back double hundreds, becoming the third Indian batter, after Vinod Kambli<\/a> and Virat Kohli<\/a>, to achieve this feat in consecutive Test matches. He equaled the world record for the most sixes in a Test innings by hitting 12 sixes in a single game.
Jaiswal smashed a brilliant second innings 161 in the first Test in Perth and finished the year with scores of 82 and 84 in the Boxing Day Test against Australia.
Second on the list is Shubman Gill<\/a> who scored 866 runs from 12 Tests and 22 innings with a top score of an unbeaten 119.
Gill hit 3 hundreds and 3 fifties in 2024.
Gill played a significant role in India’s 4-1 series victory over England with centuries in the second and third Tests and then scored an unbeaten 119*, aiding India in setting a formidable target for Bangladesh in the Chennai Test in September.
Third on the list is India captain Rohit Sharma<\/a> who scored 619 runs from 14 Tests and 26 innings at an average of 24.76 with a highest score of 131.
Explosive keeper-batter Rishabh Pant<\/a> comes next in the list with 576 runs from 9 Tests and 17 innings at an average of 36 with one hundred and 3 fifties.
Fifth on the list is Ravindra Jadeja<\/a> with 527 runs from 12 Tests and 18 innings at an average of 29.27 with one hundred and three half-centuries.
