Yashasvi Jaiswal is on the verge of breaking Sunil Gavaskar's 49-year-old record to become the fastest Indian to reach 2000 Test runs. He needs just 97 runs in the upcoming Edgbaston Test against England to surpass Gavaskar, who achieved the milestone in 23 Tests. Jaiswal's recent century in Leeds has fueled anticipation for this historic feat.

Former England coach David Lloyd has likened Ben Duckett's aggressive batting style to that of Virender Sehwag, highlighting Duckett's proficiency with the reverse sweep. Duckett's school coach, James Knott, revealed that his attacking flair was nurtured from a young age, stemming from his hockey background.
