Yashasvi Jaiswal confirmed his status as India’s new batting star with an unbeaten century and shared a record 201-run opening stand with KL Rahul as India batted to a likely unbeatable position in the opening Border-Gavaskar test at the Perth Stadium on Sunday.

Yashasvi Jaiswal notched up his first overseas ton, as he went past the three-figure mark against Australia on Day 3 of the Perth Test.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's sensational maiden Test century in Australia was praised by former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar, who suggested that Virat Kohli could learn from Jaiswal's back-foot dominance.
