Watch: Yashasvi Jasiwal's Outrageous Six To Bring Up Special Century In Perth

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.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Re-Writes History Books With World Record In 1st Test vs Australia

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.

"Little Bit Surprised": Australia Coach's Observation After India Dominate Day 2 Of 1st Test

The home team bowlers did not put a foot wrong but the pitch "surprisingly" dried up quite quickly at the Optus stadium on the second day, eventually helping the Indian batters, reckons Australia head coach Andrew McDonald. India openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (90) and KL Rahul (62) frustrated the hosts with their dogged unbeaten 172-run stand that has put the game in firm control of the visitors, who now lead by 218 runs. While the wickets fell in heap on the opening day with as many as 17 batters getting out, only three Australian tail-enders were dismissed on the second day. "The surface looked considerably dry today. It dried out fairly quickly," said McDonald during the post-day press conference.

How Virat Kohli Lost Tactical Battle To Josh Hazlewood, Sees Confidence Hit New Low

The entire Optus Stadium in Perth cheered as India's Virat Kohli walked out to bat against Australia on Day 1 of the first Test. Kohli, whose place in the Indian team is under question over repeated failures, was backed to rise to the occasion and deliver with the bat against the opposition he loves facing the most. Kohli even came up with a new plan to counter the threat posed by the Aussies, batting outside the crease but the move backfired.

Stand-in India captain Jasprit Bumrah's wife Sanjana Ganesan shared a hilarious post on her Instagram story, praising her husbang following his sensation spell against Australia on Day 1 of the 1st Test in Perth. Bumrah, who is leading the team in the absence of Rohit, brought India back into the contest after the hosts were bowled out for a meagre total of 150, after the pacer opted to bat first. Bumrah was the star of the day with exceptional figures of 4/17, which left Australia reeling at 67/7, still trailing India by 83 runs.

KL Rahul DRS Row: Harsha Bhogle, Robin Uthappa, Others Lose It On Social Media

India batter KL Rahul's controversial dismissal against Australia on Day 1 of the first Test in Perth triggered a wave of disappointment on social media. Rahul, who looked like India's best batter on the day, was given out caught behind by the third umpire after Australia decided to review the on-field umpire's call. The third umpire seemed to have rushed into giving the decision in the bowling side's favour, without checking multiple angles. The decision, in the end, didn't just leave KL Rahul, but the entire world of social media fuming.
