INDIA AT PERTH (UPDATE)

Jaiswal led a ruthless Indian batting assault on Australia's tiring bowlers by smashing a brilliant 141 not out as the visitors swelled their lead to 321 runs after reaching 275/1 at lunch on Day Three of the first Test at Perth Stadium.

In the run-up to the series opener, News Corp’s newspapers in Australia had called Jaiswal ‘The New King’. That raised expectations from Jaiswal, 22, who had suffered a blip when he was dismissed for an eight-ball duck in the first innings by Mitchell Starc.

But in the second innings, after making crucial adjustments like playing with soft hands, allowing the ball to come to him, and curbing his strokeplay instincts, Jaiswal redeemed himself by hitting his first Test hundred in Australia and following in the footsteps of Virat Kohli , Sachin Tendulkar, Mohinder Amarnath, and Sunil Gavaskar to score a century in Perth.
