**Perth, Australia:** The ongoing India-Australia Test series has witnessed a fascinating duel between young Indian batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal and Australian pace bowler Mitchell Starc. After Jaiswal’s impressive 161 runs in the first Test, where he famously commented that Starc’s bowling was “slow,” the Australian fast bowler has exacted a swift revenge.
Jaiswal’s bold remark, made during the first Test, caused a stir, particularly as it targeted one of the world’s leading fast bowlers. Starc, seemingly unfazed, responded in emphatic fashion. In the second Test, he dismissed Jaiswal for a duck on the very first ball. He repeated the feat in the third Test, dismissing Jaiswal in the second ball.
The third Test, currently underway, has seen Australia post a strong first innings total of 445 runs. India, in response, has already lost two wickets for just 7 runs, with Jaiswal’s dismissal highlighting the ongoing battle between the two players. The incident underscores the intense rivalry and competitive spirit defining this captivating Test series.
