For Jaiswal, it was a memorable series. The 22-year-old joined an exclusive club by becoming only the second Indian batter to surpass the 700-run mark in a Test series. Sunil Gavaskar achieved the feat twice in his celebrated career.

The youngster also became the second-fastest Indian player to reach 1000 Test runs, in 16 innings, only behind Vinod Kambli (14 innings).
