PERTH, Australia, Nov 24, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal brought up a composed unbeaten century on Sunday as India took the first Test in Perth further away from Australia. India were 197 without loss in their second innings early in the first session on day three, a lead of 243 with KL Rahul alongside Jaiswal on 74. The left-handed Jaiswal's commanding knock was virtually error-free, although he had a let-off on 52 when Usman Khawaja dropped a difficult chance. It was Jaiswal's first century in Australia, coming in his 15th Test. Since scoring a majestic 171 on debut against the West Indies in 2023, Jaiswal has cemented his place at the top of the order.
