PERTH : Australia's bowling attack was left dejected at lunch on day three of the first test in Perth, as India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal cruised to 141 not out to help take his team to 275-1, and a 321-run lead, on Sunday.
Young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal notched up a special century as India took the driving seat in the ongoing Perth Test against Australia on Day 3. Jaiswal, who concluded the second day's play with 90 runs under his belt, didn't take much time to score the next 10, bringing up his 4th Test century on Sunday. As the entire Optus Stadium in Perth stood up and took notice of Jaiswal's heroic show, how the talented batter brought up his hundred said it all about his mindset.
Star India batter Virat Kohli reserved a special gesture for teammates KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal after stumps on Day 2 of the 1st Test against Australia in Perth. Jaiswal and Rahul batted for more than two sessions at the Optus Stadium on Saturday, extending India's lead to 218 runs over the hosts. The pair added an unbeaten 172 runs for the opening wicket, putting India in a commanding position with three days of cricket left to play in Perth. Jaiswal and Rahul were unbeaten on 90 and 62, respectively, at the close of the day's play.
The seeds of success are sown in thorough preparation and Yashasvi Jaiswal's intense and innovative pre-tour training against short-pitched balls at the Thane Stadium contributed to his unbeaten 90 on the second day of the opening Test against Australia. Rahul Dravid's hours of training at the National Cricket Academy ahead of the 2011 tour of England or Sachin Tendulkar creating rough outside the leg-stump and asking Laxman Sivaramakrishnan to simulate Shane Warne's leg-breaks have found place in Indian cricketing folklore.
IND vs AUS LIVE Score, 1st Test Day 3: Mitchell Starc has provided Australia with their first breakthrough as he dismissed KL Rahul for 77. Yashasvi Jaiswal, has brought up his fourth Test ton, has been joined by Devdutt Padikkal at the crease as one-down India continue to dominate.
Former India cricketer wants Rohit Sharma to bat in the middle when he returns to the playing XI in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. India captain Rohit is not part of the team for the 1st Test in Perth, having stayed back in Mumbai for the birth of his second child. Rohit and his wife Ritika Sajdeh were blessed with a boy earlier this month, and the star batter is expected to join his teammates in Perth on Sunday. In Rohit's absence at the top of the order, veteran batter KL Rahul has made a strong case for himself with an unbeaten 62 in the second innings in Perth.
Yashasvi Jaiswal looked like a man on a mission for India against Australia on Day 2 of the first Test. His defence was solid while he did shy away from taking his chances against the likes of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and others. In between, he gave some cheeky replies to Australian bowlers too. At stumps on Day 2, Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on 90 off 193 balls. His innings included seven fours and two sixes. With his two sixes Jaiswal now has 34 sixes in 2024 - the most maximums hit by any player in Test history.
India stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah delivered a reality check to the Australian batters, helping his side script a comeback in the ongoing 1st Test in Perth. After India were bowled out for a paltry total of 150, Bumrah returned the favour with a inspiring spell of 5/30 as Australia crumbled to 104 in the first innings. His efforts allowed India to take a 46-run lead before openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul extended the visitors lead on Day 2.
