**Perth, Australia:** Indian opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal silenced critics with a stunning century in the second innings of the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test match against Australia. This comes after he was dismissed for a duck in the first innings, raising questions about his ability to adapt to Australian conditions.
Jaiswal’s century, his fourth in Test cricket, was a slow but significant achievement, taking him 205 balls – his slowest yet. The moment was briefly delayed as a six hit off Josh Hazlewood was initially unclear to the on-field umpire, requiring a third umpire review. The confirmation of the six brought the batsman to his century, sparking celebrations.
This remarkable innings also marked a significant partnership with KL Rahul, exceeding 200 runs – a record for Indian openers in Australia. Jaiswal’s achievement makes him only the third Indian batsman to score a century in their debut Test match in Australia. His performance firmly establishes his presence in the Australian Test arena.
