Manchester [UK], July 23 : India's seasoned opener Yashavi Jaiswal completed 1000 Test runs against England on Wednesday during the second session on Day 1 of the ongoing fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, which is being played at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Jaiswal was sent back to the pavilion after he scored 58 runs off 107 balls, which was laced by 10 fours and one six in his innings. With this knock, the left-hand batter completed 1000 runs against the Three Lions in the longest format of the game.
