1st Test: Jaiswal, KL Rahul knock down Australia
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: India's opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul made a great start to the second innings and extended the lead of 218 at stumps on day two of the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Perth.
After India bowled out Australia for 104 in their first innings, Jaiswal and Rahul brought up a century partnership. Jaiswal and Rahul both struck brilliant fifties, while the former neared a century in the final hour of Day 2.
Jaiswal also notched up the record of the most Test sixes in a calendar year by a batter. Earlier, Australia managed to get to 104 thanks to a battling 112-ball 26 by Mitchell Starc.
Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Alex Carey early on Day 2, while Harshit Rana picked up the final two wickets.
Bumrah emerged as the standout bowler with figures of 5/30, while Rana added 3/48 to India's tally. Mohammed Siraj also played a crucial role with two wickets. Batting first, India could manage only 150 runs but took a strategic 46-run lead, holding Australia to 67/7 by the end of day one.
It was a abject surrender from Australia, who could add just 37 runs to their overnight score of 67/7, thanks chiefly to tail-ender Mitchell Starc (26), who emerged the highest scorer for his side
