Since making his debut in mid-2023, Jaiswal has made 1217 runs in 11 Tests with three hundreds and at a stunning average of 64.05. Jaiswal had a breakout series against England earlier this year when he amassed over 700 runs across five Tests.

However, they bowled out Bangladesh twice in two days and a destructive batting display guaranteed a big win for the Rohit-led side. Ashwin revealed after the match that Rohit asked the team to play fearless cricket and that was reflected in the team's batting in the first innings as they went on to break five world records.
