Team India has made a strong hold in this match at this time. Full credit for this goes to the bowlers as well as the batsmen. From India, young batsman Yashasvi played a explosive inning of 161 runs in the second innings. Yashasvi, who was out without opening the account in the first innings, batted well in the second innings and has put Team India in a very strong position. On the third day of the match, Yashasvi was out after scoring 161 runs. Yashasvi returned unbeaten on 90 runs on the second day of the match and on the third day, he first completed his century with a six and then also crossed the mark of 150 runs. Perth Test Yashasvi Jaiswal broke many records With this inning, Yashasvi has reached a special club in his 15th Test match itself. Yashasvi has reached the third position in terms of scoring most number of 150+ scores in Test cricket as an opening batsman for India, he has equaled Gautam Gambhir and Murali Vijay in this list. Now he is just a few steps behind the former explosive opener Virender Sehwag who is at the top of this list. The record of scoring the most 150+ runs in Test cricket as an opener for India is in the name of Virender Sehwag. Sehwag has done this feat 14 times, while Sunil Gavaskar is at second place in this list, who has done this feat 11 times. The most important thing in all this is that Yashasvi has achieved this feat 4 times in just his 15th Test. Gautam Gambhir and Murali Vijay also did this four times each. This was Yashasvi’s fourth century in Test cricket. Whenever he has scored a century so far, he has definitely crossed the 150-run mark, which also includes two double centuries. Yashasvi hit a total of three sixes in this innings and with this he also made the world record of hitting the most sixes in Tests in a calendar year. This record was earlier held in the name of Brendon McCullum, who had hit 33 sixes in 2014. Yashasvi has now overtaken him in 2024.

Ajit Agarkar will stay in Australia during BGT, BCCI is making strong future plans
The first match of the Test series will be played in Perth from 22 November. Ajit Agarkar & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: A big update related to Border-Gavaskar Trophy is coming out. Indian cricket team’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar is in Australia and has been asked to stay there for the entire tour. Recently, after the crushing defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand, Team India is being made fun of in the entire cricket world. It has only been a few days since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach and ever since he took charge of the team, the performance of the team has not been that good. In such a situation, in the coming time, India may get to see some new players in every format. The team management has also started preparations for this. Ajit Agarkar will be in Australia during BGT According to the report of Times of India, the selectors and coaches want to know from the senior players about their future plans regarding their career. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are all aged 35 or older. Of these, Ashwin has been playing Test cricket continuously for many years. Now these players will have to tell how they are seeing their career going forward. The BCCI source said, “Both Agarkar and Gambhir know that such a poor performance in India will lead to widespread criticism, which is justified. Since it is a long tour, both can sit together and discuss how things can be taken forward after the tour. It will take at least one and a half years for both of them to build a strong backup team. This is where both have to be on the same page about the process.” India has to play some matches of the World Test Championship and big tournaments like Champions Trophy in the coming days. India will not have much time for this and in this they will try their best to retain their core team. However, after this they are planning to make big changes in the team which especially includes the T20 format.
Neither Jadeja nor Sundar, this spinner will get a chance in Perth Test, increased tension of Kangaroo batsmen
The Indian team can go with only one spinner in the Perth Test. Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Border-Gavaskar Trophy begins on November 22, where the first of the series will be played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. A big update has come out regarding this test match. Actually, Team India’s off-spinner R Ashwin may get a chance in the first test match. Why could this happen? We also tell you the reason behind this. In fact, Australia has many left-handed batsmen in its batting line-up and their record against left-arm spinners has been quite good. Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Alex Carey are the three big players who are expected to play a key role in the high-voltage five-match Test series. In such a situation, Ashwin can prove effective against him. R Ashwin may get a chance in Perth test match Ashwin’s record is also good against Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne. Apart from this, he can also trouble the young batsman Nathan McSweeney. This is why Ashwin is expected to get a chance before Sundar and Jadeja. Whereas, if we talk about fast bowling, Mohammad Siraj will be seen with Jasprit Bumrah. The third pacer could be Akash Deep or the famous Krishna. All-rounder Nitish Reddy can be given a chance as the fourth fast bowler, who will provide strength in batting along with pace bowling. However, not giving a chance to Jadeja and Ashwin may weaken Team India’s batting because Jadeja and Sundar can bat better than Ashwin. Let us tell you that the pitches of Australia are not that favorable for spinners. If we take a look at Ashwin’s record in Australia, in 10 Test matches, the Tamil Nadu spinner has taken 39 wickets at an average of 42.15, which is his second lowest average in any particular country. From this you can imagine how difficult it becomes for the spinners to take wickets there.

Whereas Virat Kohli will bat at number-4.
