Perth: KL Rahul’s brilliant fifty, followed by Jaiswal’s half-century has put India in a commanding position in Perth. After falling for an 8-ball duck in the first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal made a stunning comeback in India’s second essay. The 22-year-old reached his maiden fifty Down Under as India’s lead went past 200 in the second innings. Meanwhile, Jaiswal and Rahul have stitched a century stand for the opening wicket, frustrating the Australian bowlers.
India clawed back into the first BORDER-GAVASKAR TROPHY TEST with the skipper Jasprit Bumrah leading the charge with the ball. He returned 5 for 30 and became the first Indian pacer to pick up 50 wickets in a single WTC cycle. India bowled out Australia for 104 to take a 46-run lead in the first innings.
