Cricket News Desk. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has started between India and Australia. The battle between the two teams continues in the first Test match being played in Perth. On the first day of the Perth Test, Team India's batsmen flopped badly, due to which the entire team could not play even 50 overs and were limited to a score of just 150 runs. The Indian opening pair could add only 5 runs for the first wicket and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was making his Test debut in Australia, could not score a single run and returned to the pavilion on zero. Jaiswal faced 8 balls but could not open the account. He became the victim of Mitchell Starc in the third over.
In response to the Indian innings' 150 runs, the performance of Australian batsmen was also very poor. Jasprit Bumrah single-handedly destroyed the top order of the Kangaroo team. By the end of the first day's play, Australia's 7 batsmen returned to the pavilion with a score of 67 runs. After this, the next day Australia returned to the pavilion on the score of 104 runs. After this, learning from the failure of the first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal, playing cautiously with KL Rahul, started the innings for Team India in the second innings and created a new history by adding 15 runs to his account.
Big achievement of Yashasvi Jaiswal
Actually, Yashasvi Jaiswal is in great form this year. He is the highest run scorer for India in Tests. This young opener is the second batsman in the world after Joe Root to score more than 1000 runs this year. A new miracle in the history of Indian Test cricket happened when Jaiswal reached the 15-run mark during the second innings of the Perth Test. Jaiswal has become the left-handed Indian batsman to score the most runs in a calendar year in Test cricket. He broke the 16 year old record. Earlier this record was in the name of former Indian cricketer and current head coach of Team India Gautam Gambhir. In Test cricket, Gambhir scored 1134 runs in 16 innings of 8 Test matches in the year 2008. During this period he scored 3 centuries and 6 half-centuries.
