Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Chris Gayle - comparing their stats after 25 Tests

Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has made an impressive start to his Test career. He made his red ball debut for India against West Indies in Roseau, scoring a hundred and has not looked back since then.

In a young Test career, Jaiswal has been to challenging tours of Australia, England and South Africa. And while he had a tough time during the two-match Test series in South Africa, the southpaw did reasonably well in both Australia and England. He was looking good in the first Test against West Indies in Ahmedabad in the ongoing series before being dismissed for 36.

Jaiswal has featured in 25 Tests so far. Ahead of the second India vs West Indies Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, which starts on Friday, October 10, we compare his stats with that of Chris Gayle after the latter had also played 25 Tests.
