Jaiswal, Rahul yield Australia no comeback in Perth

| @indiablooms | 23 Nov 2024, 03:52 pm

Perth/IBNS: Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul steered India to a dominant position against Australia on day two of the inaugural Test in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024 in Perth on Saturday.

Jaiswal and Rahul remained unbeaten at 90 and 62 runs respectively as play stopped.

When the players headed back in the evening, India's scoreboard read 172/0 hours after Jasprit Bumrah and Harshit Rana ensured the visitors a lead over Australia (104 all out) in the first innings.

Bumrah picked five wickets for 30 runs. He was aptly supported by Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj who picked three and two wickets respectively.

India's day 1 story

Despite the resistance from debutant Nitish Reddy and Rishabh Pant, Australia bowled out India for just 150 on Friday.

After India were reduced to 73/6 following Washington Sundar's dismissal, Pant and Reddy stitched a 48-run partnership, giving India a chance to touch the 200-run mark.

Pant, who played some of his trademark unconventional shots, scored 37 off 78 balls while Reddy was the last man to be dismissed for 41 from 59 balls.

Josh Hazlewood picked four wickets including the important one of Virat Kohli while Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh and skipper Pat Cummins shared two wickets each.
