Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal stunned Australia with a remarkable century in the second innings of the Perth Test. Jaiswal, who had made a duck in the first innings, played with exceptional ease and achieved a historic feat, becoming the second player to score a duck and a century in the same Test against Australia.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is clearly a prodigious talent. That much was evident from the moment he made 171 on debut at Dominica's Windsor Park Oval in 2023, and backed it up with twin double centuries against England in Visakhapatnam and Rajkot earlier this year. But, despite hitting six fifties in his 13 innings prior to this series, the 22-year-old would have felt serious pressure coming out to bat after making a duck in the first innings.
Instead, he batted with consummate ease on day two, making a mockery of the tough conditions of day one, and continued where he left off on the third morning. The shot that took him to his century was extraordinary, a uppercut onto the boundary behind the wicketkeeper that might not have been perfectly played, but was still mighty effective.He is only the second player to make a duck in his first Test against Australia, and follow it up with a century in the second innings after Gundappa Viswanath did so at Kanpur in 1969. He is the first Indian batter since 1977 to make a duck and then a century in a single match against Australia since Sunil Gavaskar. Additionally, he is the fifth youngest Indian male Test centurion in Australia behind Sachin Tendulkar, Rishabh Pant, Dattu Phadkar and KL Rahul.Shortly after lunch Australia, with their tails perhaps not up but certainly moving in that direction following the wicket of Devdutt Padikkal, might have felt they had an opening.This summer, ABC Sport is looking for the most memorable cricket moment between Australia and India, as voted by the readers.
