When it comes to daring strokeplay and record-breaking innings, few names in world cricket shine as brightly as Virender Sehwag. The former Indian opener redefined Test batting with his fearless approach and ability to dominate even the best bowling attacks. Sehwag remains the only Indian batsman to have scored two triple centuries in Test cricket: 309 conceded 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 hitting combined with a remarkable strike rate in the longest format made him a rare phenomenon: someone who could change the game in one session. Since his retirement, no Indian cricketer has managed to cross the 300-run mark in Tests, a testament to the magnitude of his achievement.
Mohammad Kaif names the player who could break Virender Sehwag’s triple century record
Former Indian cricketer Mohammed Kaif has now expressed his conviction about this Yashasvi jaiswal could be the one to finally surpass Sehwag’s three-time record. Kaif, who shared the dressing room with Sehwag during India’s golden era, praised Jaiswal’s calmness, temperament and hunger for big scores.
Kaif took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote: “Yashasvi Jaiswal is a batsman with the patience to score big hundreds and put up new figures. In his first 26 matches, his figures are as good as those of Sachin and Virat. By scoring at a high strike rate, his hundreds usually set India on the path to victory. Sehwag ka 300 wala record, Jaiswal hi todega.”

Kaif’s words reflect the growing admiration for Jaiswal’s maturity at a young age. The left-handed opener has already shown the rare combination of aggression and patience, reminiscent of Sehwag’s peak years. What makes Jaiswal stand out is his ability to accelerate the scoring without compromising his concentration or technique.
Star Batter’s stunning knock against West Indies adds strength to Kaif’s claim
In the ongoing second Test against West Indies, Jaiswal once again showcased his exceptional batting skills. Opening the innings for India, he produced a brilliant knock of 175 runs, filled with elegant drives, sharp pulls and calculated aggression. His innings set the tone for India’s dominant first innings total and reaffirmed his ability to play a long, match-defining innings.
Jaiswal’s innings against the Caribbean side was not just about runs – it was about control and temperament. He batted for hours, countering bowlers with discipline, rotating the strike efficiently and attacking loose deliveries with precision. This ability to build huge innings while maintaining a solid strike rate has drawn inevitable comparisons with Sehwag.
