BGT 2024-25: Yashasvi Jaiswal And KL Rahul Take Centrestage As India’s Lead Swells To 130
Yashasvi Jaiswal: Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul showed immaculate composure and confidence to take centrestage with an unbroken 84-run opening stand as India swelled their lead to 130 after reaching 84/0 in 26 overs at tea on day two of first Test against Australia at Perth Stadium on Saturday.
With the heavy roller used before day two’s play began and once after Australia’s innings ending on 104, it meant the pitch eased out under baking sun and making life easy for Jaiswal and Rahul, who are now 42 and 34 not out, as India got a wicketless session to increase their grip on the match.
Both openers were in excellent control, absorbed the new-ball pressure by playing close to their bodies, choosing to employ their shots late and rotated the strike nicely in a dominant session for India. Jaiswal, who got out for a duck in the first innings, was not pushing hard at the ball.
