India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored more than fifty plus score in every Test of the ongoing series against England. The young left-hander has also scored two double-centuries in the series. With a Test remaining in Dharamshala Jaiswal is on the verge of breaking the record for the most runs in a bilateral series.

During the fourth Test in Ranchi Jaiswal equalled the record of Virat Kohli of 655 runs tally which the latter made against England as well in 2016 at home. In addition to that Jaiswal has surpassed current Indian coach Rahul Dravid’s tally of 619 runs and 602 runs against Australia and England respectively away from home.

Ahead of Jaiswal in the list is Kohli (692 runs) who has had a coming-of-age Test series against Australia away in 2014/15. However, former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is in a class of his own with 774 (away series in 1971) and 732 (home series in 1978/79) against West Indies.
