Relentless Jaiswal and Rahul Dominate Australia, India Build Strong 218-Run Lead
India’s opening duo, Yashasvi Jaiswal (90*) and KL Rahul (62*), held firm in Perth as they extended India’s lead over Australia to 218 runs, reaching 172/0 at stumps on day two of the first Test. Despite a remarkable first day where 17 wickets fell, Jaiswal and Rahul’s patient and resilient batting wore down the Australian attack. Jaiswal was on the brink of his maiden Test century, while Rahul anchored the partnership. This strong stand came after India’s first-innings total of 150, giving them a commanding position. Australia’s attack struggled to break through, leaving India well-placed to press for victory.
