Team India’s young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has passed the first Test in Australia. Yashasvi Jaiswal, playing Test cricket in Australia for the first time, has once again proved his ability by scoring a century on the difficult Perth pitch. Yashasvi, who failed to open his account in his first innings on Australian soil, made a tremendous comeback in just 24 hours and also scored the fourth century of his Test career. This brilliant century by Yashasvi and record-breaking partnership with KL Rahul put Team India in a strong position in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Yashasvi Jaiswal became a hero after doing Zero.
After defeating Australia by just 104 runs on the second day of the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test match held in Perth, Team India came out to bat in their second innings. This time team India needed a good start and Yashasvi did very well along with KL Rahul. Learning from his mistake in the first innings, Jaiswal controlled his aggressive attitude and decided to play firmly in the crease, which also worked for him.
Yashasvi didn’t score a century in Perth, but he made history
In Perth, Yashasvi scripted his brilliant century in 205 dances. With this century he also created history. After ML Jaisimha and Sunil Gavaskar, he became the third Indian to score a century in his first Test played on Australian soil. He is also the fourth youngest Indian to reach a century in Australia. This is his first century overall scored against Australia and second century scored on foreign soil. Earlier, Yashasvi had also scored a century in West Indies, which was his first Test century.

Jaiswal, playing a Test match against Australia for the first time, showed the reigning World Test champion that he can not only defeat his opponents with his explosive batting but can also neutralize bowlers by staying in the crease and using batting at the old way. Proof of this can be found in Jaiswal’s half-century, which he completed in 123 balls. This is Jaiswal’s slowest half-century in his short career. After this, however, he increased the pace of runs a little and by the end of the second day he had scored 90 runs in 193 balls.
