The first match of the five-match Test series is being played between Australia and India in Perth. The second day of the first Test has started. On the second day of the game, Indian team’s best opener Yashasvi Jaiswal broke the 16-year-old record of former player and currently the head coach of Team India Gautam Gambhir.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has now scored the most runs by an Indian left-handed batsman in a calendar year, a record previously held by Gautam Gambhir who achieved the feat in 2008. Gautam Gambhir scored 1134 runs in 8 matches in 2008 at an average above 70, which included 6 half-centuries and three centuries. Yashasvi Jaiswal has so far scored more than 1161 runs in this calendar year at an average of 55.28.

Yashasvi’s performance was very poor in the first innings of this match and he returned to the pavilion without opening his account. However, he has batted very well so far in the second innings and has created pressure on the Australian bowlers.

Australia team collapsed for 104 runs in its first innings

Let us tell you that Team India had scored 150 runs in its first innings after losing all the wickets. For India, Nitish Kumar Reddy played an inning of 41 runs while Rishabh Pant was out on 37 runs. In reply, Australia also batted disappointingly and the team was all out for 104 runs. For the hosts, Mitchell Starc scored 26 runs while Alex Carey contributed 21 runs. For Team India, Jasprit Bumrah took 5 wickets while Harshit Rana took three and Mohammad Siraj took two wickets.

Team India has made a very good start in the second innings and will look to score maximum runs against the hosts. At present, Team India is in a very strong position and they would definitely like to win the first test.
