Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal has set a series of records with the bat on the third day of the first Test match to be played in Perth. India’s young opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal had a very poor debut in Australia. In the first innings of the Perth Test, Jaiswal returned to the pavilion without opening his account. What happened after this has already been recorded in history. Taking a lesson from the failure of the first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal batted explosively in the second innings and scored a brilliant century.
Jaiswal completed his century off 205 balls in the first Test match against Australia. In this way, he became the third Indian batsman to score a century while playing his first Test match in Australia. Previously, only two batsmen had scored a century in their first Test match in Australia. This has happened in Australia after 47 years when an Indian batsman scored a brilliant century while playing his first Test on Australian soil. Earlier, Sunil Gavaskar had done this in the Test match played in Brisbane in 1977. At the same time, Motaganahalli Jayasimha performed this feat for the first time in 1968.
Jaiswal scored 150 runs
Thanks to Jaiswal’s century, the Indian team increased its total lead against the host team to 321 runs by scoring 275 runs for one wicket in the second innings till lunch on the third day in the Perth Test. India lost the only wicket in the morning session of the third day to Lokesh Rahul (77). Even after lunch, Jaiswal’s brilliant play continued and he soon completed his 150 runs. He touched the figure of 150 runs in 275 balls. In this way, he reached the level of Javed Miandad, Graeme Smith and Sachin Tendulkar in the list of batsmen who scored more than 150 points in Tests before the age of 23.

Previously, only former South African captain Graeme Smith could achieve this feat. Jaiswal has become the second batsman in the world and the first from India to join this very special club.
