Jaiswal took 205 balls to bring up his second overseas century on Saturday
The star Indian batter has amassed 2,042 runs against Australia in Test cricket in 25 matches overall, out of which he has scored 1,352 runs in Australia
Rahul-Jaiswal added 201 runs in 1st Test between India and Australia at Perth Stadium to surpass the record set by Gavaskar and Srikkanth, who added 191 runs for the first wicket in 1986 Sydney Test
The home team bowlers did not put a foot wrong but the pitch "surprisingly" dried up quite quickly at the Optus stadium on the second day, eventually helping the Indian batters, reckons Australia head coach Andrew McDonald. India openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (90) and KL Rahul (62) frustrated the hosts with their dogged unbeaten 172-run stand that has put the game in firm control of the visitors, who now lead by 218 runs. While the wickets fell in heap on the opening day with as many as 17 batters getting out, only three Australian tail-enders were dismissed on the second day. "The surface looked considerably dry today. It dried out fairly quickly," said McDonald during the post-day press conference. "We thought there may have been a little bit more there. So, I suppose if you want to say that we were a little bit surprised, yeah, there wasn't as much seam movement or swing. "The bowlers were presenting the seam in a similar fashion to they were yesterday. So I think the conditions may

The nostalgia of Brisbane 2021 refuses to fade but India, still reeling from a bitter home debacle, will be under tremendous pressure when they face an equally circumspect Australia in a battle of two out-of-form batting units in the opening Test of the marquee Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting here on Friday. In 2018-19 and 2020-21, India proved that lightning can strike twice with back to back series wins but the manner in which New Zealand came, saw and decimated them on home turf recently has certainly hit the psyche of an otherwise world-class unit. The undeniable truth is that some of the stars driving this unit are in the twilight of their hallowed careers. How the five-match rubber against Pat Cummins and his men unfolds could well decide their future. A record third World Test Championship final entry that looked imminent before the start of the New Zealand series, now seems like a distant dream. A 4-0 score-line has become an absolute necessity for India to avoid relying o
Currently perched as the top two titans of the WTC table, Australia and India are primed for a duel that will leave scars and glory etched in history.

A subtle adjustment to his batting stance has proven to be the catalyst that has propelled Australia wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey into the form of his life as he heads into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. The 33-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is the leading run-getter in the first four rounds of Sheffield Shield matches this season, scoring 452 runs at an astonishing average of 90.4. "It's only slight, but at the moment, it feels like I'm in a good position and reacting pretty well to the ball," Carey was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au after Australia's first team training session here. Carey said that he got the opportunity to "muck round" during the six-month break over the winter. "You play and play and play, you don't really get a chance to work on too many things. "Not having games coming up for a while, I've just mucked around a little bit with my hands and found something that felt good and sort of ran with that." He added that the new stance, where he holds
