Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli centuries for India

India declared the second innings with 487 runs for six wickets. Thus, with a lead of 46 runs in the first innings, the team’s total lead became 533 runs. In the second innings for team India, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 161 runs, Virat Kohli scored 100* and KL Rahul scored 77 runs.
Records of Sunil Gavaskar and K Srikanth broken
After 38 years, the initial pair of the Indian team has formed a partnership of 150 or more. Earlier, the pair of Sunil Gavaskar and K Srikanth had done this for the team in 1986. They then put on an opening 191-run partnership in Sydney. Today, breaking their 1986 record, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal added 201 runs in the first wicket partnership.
The captain returned
When the Indian team was reduced to 150, all the fans and even the team camp were disappointed to some extent. No one expected such a weak performance from the Indian team. While captain Jasprit Bumrah was probably confident in himself and optimistic about the team’s recovery. This is why Jasprit Bumrah shook up Australia’s batting order by taking five wickets for just 30 runs in 18 overs and played an important role in giving India a significant lead.
