30 Tests, 30 venues: Yashavi Jaiswal follows Sachin Tendulkar's footsteps
When Yashasvi Jaiswal walked out to bat in Galle for the first Test against Sri Lanka, he was playing the 30th Test of his career. The milestone came with an unusual record - Jaiswal has played each of his first 30 Tests at a different venue. The India opener has never played a Test at the same ground twice.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, India's rising Test star, has followed in the footsteps of cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Sanjay Manjrekar by completing his 30th Test match at a different venue for each of his first 30 appearances. The 22-year-old opener has played his first 30 Tests across six countries, including Roseau, South Africa, England, Australia, and Sri Lanka.
Jaiswal's impressive Test career has been marked by consistency and skill. In 30 matches, he has amassed 2,567 runs in 55 innings, including seven centuries and 13 half-centuries. His highest score is an unbeaten 214, while his batting average stands at an impressive 48.43.
However, Jaiswal's remarkable record took a disappointing turn in his latest Test match against Sri Lanka. After a comfortable 37-ball stay at the crease, the young batsman was run out for 32 runs. The unfortunate incident occurred due to a mix-up with his teammate KL Rahul, who ended up stranded at the non-striker's end, leaving Jaiswal stranded as well. This marked Jaiswal's third run-out in Test cricket, with previous dismissals coming against Australia and the West Indies.
