VIDEO: Big accident happened in Perth Test, Kohli’s thunderous six hit the security guard on his head.
Virat Kohli
The third day of the first Test being played in Perth was in the name of India. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal made many big records by playing an inning of 161 runs and then Virat Kohli also ended the century drought of one and a half years. Kohli scored the 30th century of his Test career and thus left Don Bradman behind in terms of scoring the most centuries in Tests.
By tea on the third day, Team India increased its total lead to 405 runs by scoring 359 runs for five wickets in the second innings. Jaiswal scored a century while playing for the first time on Australian soil and during his innings, facing 297 balls, he scored 161 runs with the help of 15 fours and three sixes. Jaiswal made a record 201-run partnership with Lokesh Rahul (77) for the first wicket. At tea time, Virat Kohli was playing on 40 while Washington Sundar was playing on 14 runs.
Security guard injured by Kohli’s shot
In the second session of the day, Kohli hit many beautiful shots as soon as he came. In the 101st over, he hit a brilliant upper cut on Mitchell Starc’s short ball outside the off stump, which fell on the boundary cushion in the direction of third man. After hitting the cushion, the ball bounced and hit the head of the security guard sitting outside the boundary. As soon as the ball hit, Gordon held his head.
After this accident on the boundary, Kohli looked worried for the security guard, so some Australian players, who were fielding on the boundary at that time, came to inspect the guard’s injury. A medical officer also immediately reached there and ensured whether the guard was okay or not.
This is how the third day was in Perth
Talking about the third day of the Perth Test match, Team India gave a record target of 534 runs to Australia. In response, India maintained its upper hand in the match by making the host team’s score 12 runs for three wickets. Jasprit Bumrah (2 wickets for 1 run) and Mohammed Siraj (1 wicket for 7 runs) gave a great start to India by giving three wickets to Australia in 4.2 overs.
