When it comes to bold stroke play and record-breaking innings, few names shine in world cricket Virender SehwagThe former Indian opener redefined Test batting with his fearless approach and ability to dominate even the best bowling attacks. Sehwag is the only Indian batsman to score two triple centuries in Test cricket – 309 runs Pakistan in Multan (2004) and 319 against South Africa In Chennai (2008).
Despite the rise of many modern greats such as Virat Kohli,Rohit SharmaAnd Cheteshwar PujaraSehwag’s monumental record has remained untouched for more than 15 years. His explosive batting and remarkable strike rate in the longest format made him a rare phenomenon – someone who could turn a game around in a single session. Since his retirement, no Indian cricketer has managed to cross the 300-run mark in Tests, which is a testament to the enormity of his achievement.
Mohammad Kaif named the player who can break Virender Sehwag’s record of triple century.
Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has now expressed his belief Yashasvi Jaiswal Could eventually break Sehwag’s triple century record. Kaif, who shared the dressing room with Sehwag during India’s golden era, praised Jaiswal’s patience, temperament and hunger for big scores.
Kaif wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Yashaswi Jaiswal is a batsman with the patience to score big centuries and set new records. In his first 26 matches, his numbers are as good as Sachin and Virat. Scoring at a high strike rate, his centuries mostly take India to victory. Sehwag’s record of 300 will be broken by Jaiswal.”

Kaif’s words reflect his growing admiration for Jaiswal’s maturity at a young age. The left-handed opening batsman has already displayed a rare combination of aggression and patience, reminiscent of Sehwag’s peak years. What makes Jaiswal stand out is his ability to accelerate his scoring rate without compromising on his concentration or technique.
The brilliant innings of the star batsman against West Indies has strengthened Kaif’s claim.
In the ongoing second Test against West Indies, Jaiswal once again displayed his exceptional batting ability. Opening the innings for India, he played a brilliant inning of 175 runs full of brilliant drives, crisp pulls and calculated aggression. His innings laid the foundation for India’s impressive first innings score and confirmed his ability to play long, match-defining innings.
Jaiswal’s innings against the Caribbean team was not just about runs – it was about control and flair. He batted for hours, took on the bowlers with discipline, rotated the strike skillfully and attacked loose balls with precision. His ability to play big innings while maintaining a strong strike rate has attracted inevitable comparisons to Sehwag.
