India seized control of the first Test against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal both scoring centuries. India's strong batting display, coupled with a late declaration, left Australia struggling with a significant deficit heading into day four.

It is the standing ovation that crowned the arrival of a new champion in one of cricket’s toughest cauldrons amid universal recognition the sport has unearthed a special talent. When Jaiswal arrived at the crease on Saturday, the dressing rooms of both nations were in a state of shock. In the space of four sessions, 20 wickets had fallen for a paltry 254 runs.
“When you are on your first tour of Australia, 22 years of age … there’s a big build up. You’ve been touted as the next big thing and to live up to those expectations, I think he did a fabulous job,” the Fox Cricket expert analyst said. And now he has a mighty century against the Australians in an innings that will almost certainly give his nation the upper-hand leading into the Adelaide Test in early December.But on a day Kohli reminded Australians why he is a legend with an unbeaten century, Jaiswal confirmed himself as the next King of Indian cricket.
“I just wanted to contribute to the team scores. I’m not a guy who wants to hang around just for the sake of it. “I think the debate over the next week or two going into the second and third Test matches will be: Are Australia short of a gallop and they needed this game to get back into Test match cricket mode? Or are they a team that’s just starting to get over the edge?” he said.
“There were times when players had to play years and years of cricket to make the cut. Mike Hussey, Matthew Hayden - years and years, and you look down the ranks there in Shield cricket and some of the youngsters coming through the ranks, there aren’t many there. Fox Cricket’s newest analyst David Warner was taking a well-deserved break from the broadcast booth to shoot the breeze with some journalists in the press box when his expert eye spotted something.
It was, Warner declared, a tactical masterclass and the result of good planning. All those hours assessing the opposition had paid off in this instance.Sure enough, Warner was spot on. The footage shows Carey’s right-foot directly in line with Pant’s off-stump, with the majority of the wicketkeeper’s body outside the line of the wicket.“I think that was a planned move by Nathan Lyon and Alex Carey,” Waugh said.
“Have you ever seen such a despondent team of Australian cricketers, resorting to those tactics? What are deemed negative, illegal tactics really by the rulebook?” Gilchrist questioned. “The third slip sort of line, you put a man down there and bowl some short stuff at him and just see what happens. And it almost paid off a few overs later when Jaiswal only just cleared the top of Head. Had Head been back on the rope, Jaiswal’s innings would have been over.“He is 10 metres in.
If the Perth wicket played as though it had changed temperament between Friday and Saturday, it could be said Rahul presented as a completely different player to the man who was struggling during the India A game against Australia A at the MCG a few weeks ago. He fell to the same combination on Saturday, but only after combining for a 201-run partnership with Jaiswal, with his contribution of 77 helping take the match away from the Australians.
