Yashasvi Jaiswal's remarkable century in Perth showcased his ability to adapt his aggressive style and play with maturity beyond his years. After a disappointing first-innings duck, Jaiswal adjusted his approach to counter Australia's bouncy pitches, culminating in a magnificent 161 runs. His performance drew comparisons to Sir Donald Bradman's early achievements and highlighted his potential as a future cricketing star.
EVERY BOUNDARY of Jaiswal's heroic knock | 05:53Countless touring openers have been found out by Australia’s bouncy decks, so Yashasvi Jaiswal ’s first-innings dismissal in Perth seemed like the start of a familiar story.Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer >
He finished with 161 , the fourth-highest score of his brief Test career. Only one Test cricketer boasts more 150+ scores before their 23rd birthday — Sir Donald Bradman. “But then to play within yourself and put the team in front of you, and respecting the situation the team’s in, is the highlight of that innings.”After his first-innings failed, he played the ball later with weight on his front foot in the second dig. With a steady base, he defended under his eyeline, trusting the consistent bounce to leave with confidence.
Confidence or arrogance, that’s for you to decide, but Jaiswal showed he wouldn’t back down from a fight. He backed up his words with a pair of glorious sixes, the second of which sailed over 100 metres. From there on, he started flashing at everything, switching to a white-ball tempo — he wanted to heap pain on the fatigued Australians.Jaiswal has already set the record for most Test sixes in a calendar year, surpassing the previous record set by Brendon McCullum, the mastermind behind Bazball. No doubt he’ll add a few more to his tally over the coming weeks.
”Australia have got no real answers for Jaiswal,” former Test spinner Kerry O’Keeffe said on Fox Cricket.
