Yashasvi Jaiswal Dominates Rajasthan In Ranji Trophy, Unstoppable India Southpaw Scores 17th First Class Ton Prior To IND vs SA Test Series

The Indian Test team has been doing well under Shubman Gill and they have won four out of their last seven Test matches. India played out a 2-2 draw against England earlier this year and they recently clean swept West Indies 2-0 at home. The sudden rise of India's form in Test cricket is a result of many things, but Yashasvi Jaiswal's aggressive batting style in the longest international format has also given India an edge over their oppositions.

After the completion of the five-match T20I series against Australia, India will host World Test Champions (WTC) South Africa in two Test matches that start on November 14, 2025. The first Test match of the series will be played at the Eden Gardens, whereas the second game will be played at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
