IND vs AUS: Jaiswal’s big charisma in Perth, equalized Sachin, Gavaskar and Kambli in one stroke
Yashasvi Jaiswal
IND vs AUS: Yashasvi Jaiwal created history by scoring a brilliant century while playing for the first time on Australian soil. Jaiswal, who was out for a duck in the first innings of the Perth Test, performed brilliantly in the second innings and thus the name of the young opening batsman got registered in the pages of history. Exactly 32 years before Jaiswal’s century, 17-year-old Sachin Tendulkar had caught the world’s attention by scoring a century on the last two days of batting on the deteriorating pitch of WACA. Now Jaiswal created a sensation in the cricket world by scoring a century. 22-year-old Jaiswal is only the second batsman from India to score a century after getting out for a duck in the first innings of a Test in Australia. Earlier, this big feat was done by Sunil Gavaskar in the year 1977.
