Yashasvi Jaiswal confirmed his status as India’s new batting star with an unbeaten century and shared a record 201-run opening stand with KL Rahul as India batted to a likely unbeatable position in the opening Border-Gavaskar test at the Perth Stadium on Sunday.

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a brilliant century in the first Test against Australia, reaching the milestone off 205 balls with a six off Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood. Jaiswal and KL Rahul had previously added 200 runs for the opening wicket after India resumed their innings at 172-0 on Day 3.

Jaiswal goes strong and brings up his fifty. KL Rahul on the other hand is still unbeaten in the 40s. The duo has now been settled in the middle of the Optus stadium. Australian bowlers are falling short to claim their first wicket on day two of the first Test.
