Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Alastair Cook - comparing their stats after 19 Tests ahead of ENG vs IND 2025 series

Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's performance with the willow will be crucial for the visitors during the upcoming five-match Test series in England. The left-handed batter made his Test debut during the tour of West Indies in July 2023. However, he has quickly gone on to establish himself as a key member of the red-ball team.

Jaiswal's performance in England will be even more significant in the wake of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's unavailability for the grueling five-match series. Both the senior batters have retired from the red-ball format. Also, while Shubman Gill has been named Team India's new Test captain, he is yet to prove his batting credentials away from home.

Jaiswal has featured in 19 Test matches so far. Ahead of the series against England, we compare his Test stats with that of former England captain and opener Alastair Cook after 19 matches.
