Yashasvi Jaiswal is a run machine. In the first Test against Australia, the man failed in the first innings but redeemed himself in the second innings with an epic 161. It helped India set a 534-run target in Perth and eventually win by 295 runs to lead the series 1-0.

Yashasvi Jaiswal confirmed his status as India’s new batting star with an unbeaten century and shared a record 201-run opening stand with KL Rahul as India batted to a likely unbeatable position in the opening Border-Gavaskar test at the Perth Stadium.

In the morning, India captain Bumrah deservedly got his 11th five-wicket haul while debutant Harshit Rana bowled a fiery opening spell to dismiss the hosts for 104 at the stroke of lunch despite a stiff last-wicket resistance from Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
