Yashasvi Jaiswal is a strong contender for the ICC Men's Player of the Month for February 2024 after scoring back-to-back double-centuries. He was in fine form against England, hitting 209 in the first innings of the second Test in Vizag. He followed that up with another double century in the next Test in Rajkot to help India take the series lead.
Jaiswal's innings helped India recover from their loss in the first Test of the series. The left-handed opener has also become the leading run-scorer in the ICC World Test Championship for the 2023-25 cycle.
In February, Jaiswal set several records, including equalling the long-standing Test record for most sixes in a Test innings (12) during his Rajkot knock. At the age of 22 years and 49 days, he became the third youngest batter in the world to record two double centuries in Tests after Sir Donald Bradman and Vinod Kambli, achieving back-to-back double hundreds.
Jaiswal finished February with impressive statistics in the three Tests he played, scoring 560 runs at an average of 112, including 20 sixes.
