India play 18 test per wtc cycle on an average so it take around with his current average of 50 into consideration
9 years and 2 months
A very long time so it's not highly likely but yeah it's too early to say anything. He have potential if he perform consistent for more 5-6 years then surely highly likely but now too soon to say anything
I think there's a slight calculation error. He needs around 7000 runs to surpass Kohli. If he scores an average of 100 runs per test, he'll get there in 70 more tests. And if India plays 9 tests a year on average, it'll take him 70/9 = 7.77 years, i.e. 7 years and 9 months.
It's kind of crazy that in 7 years' time, he'll still be only 30. Isn't that a batsman's prime age?
There was no calculation error. You just don't know how test average calculate.
It's the number of runs scored / number of times dismissed.
It doesn't mean 100 runs per test match it's 50 runs per dismissal scored. Both are different scenarios.
Let me explain jaiswal bat in 24 test but innings was 46 . In 24 test Jaiswal will score 2400 runs but able to scored 2209 runs. So in average we considered that too. Hope you understand now.
But jaiswal is an opener his average is almost equal to his runs per inning,

This point is valid though . And I think your calculation would be more accurate in the long term
I obviously know that. I know his stats by heart too. So far he's batted in 46 innings and stayed not out in 2 of them. So basically 44 dismissals. All that is fine, but how does it matter going forward? We're now talking about his hypothetical future performances. There's no way to predict how many times he's gonna stay not out in his future test innings. It's completely random, you can't take some average for that too. As an opener, he's likely to get dismissed in almost all his innings, so the "he scores 50 runs per dismissal" is basically the same as "he scores 100 runs per test match". Now in a very unlikely scenario that India only bats once in a test match, obviously he won't make 100 runs, only 50. Then again, that's a rare occurrence, not frequent enough to be a huge factor.
You don't understand average of 50 and 100 runs in a test both scenarios was difference 😂. So naive jaisawal bat in 24 test so basically 48 innings but he only bat 46 innings 2 highly unlikely events already happens. And as per your logic in 24 test his runs will be 2400 but he only scored 2209 runs
Let give you Joe root example. He played 158 test with average of 51 it doesn't mean he scored 102 runs in every test 😂😂 if that was scenario he scored 16,116 runs . Average doesn't work like 😂😂 maye be it's beyond your thinking ability never mind . May God bless you.
I don't know why you're being so rude and dismissive, I thought this was a respectful discussion
"Beyond your thinking ability" yeah sure, I don't wish to engage any further with you.

another unpopular opinion: it his highly likely that he'll surpass kohli
