On Day 2 of the first Test match against Australia, India leads by 151 runs, while Rahul and Jaiswal are undefeated at the stumps.
India is still in control of the first Test match against Australia in Perth, increasing their advantage to 151 runs on Day 2.
India is securely in control of the game after laying a solid platform in both innings with openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul undefeated at stumps.
India scored 150 runs in their opening innings while Australia could only muster a pitiful 104. Mitchell Starc was Australia’s best bowler, scoring 2/27.
Under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian bowlers controlled the game and dismissed Australia for less than 150 runs in less than 40 overs.
While the spin combination of Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin held the middle order in check, Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj caused problems for Australia’s top order.
India demonstrated tenacity in their second innings, with openers Jaiswal and Rahul making strong gains. Rahul provided him with a tough 42 runs from 115 balls, while Jaiswal in particular looked to be in great form, scoring 53 runs off 142 balls. As they increase their already sizable lead, the duo has now added 105 runs without losing.
Despite their best efforts, Australia’s bowlers—including Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc—were unable to break the Indian partnership. Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, and Nathan Lyon also had little effect.
A strong partnership between their opening pair has strengthened India’s position and will probably put more pressure on the Australian squad. India will try to maintain their domination in the latter two sessions of the day since they have a significant lead and a solid position in the match.
