Indian opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was the Man of the Moment on the third day of the first Test in Perth. Jaiswal reached his third century of the year with a perfect ramp shot against Josh Hazlewood that carried for a six. Simon Katich was in commentary box for SEN Cricket. 

As soon as Jaiswal hit the ball in the air the commentators began to get excited. Once the ball hit the boundary cushions on the full there was huge cheer in the Australian radio commentary team. The commentator Gerard Whateley could be heard saying, “Hits the ropes on the full, it is a century of Yashasvi Jaiswal, he looks every inch the chosen one”.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has already scored two centuries this year and both of them were double tons. Those knocks came against England earlier this year when India won the series with 4-1 scoreline. Each and every member of the Australian commentary team could be seen appreciating Jaiswal’s knock. 

India head into lunch with huge lead to pile pressure on Australia

Team India came out to bat with their overnight score of 172/0 with a lead of 218 runs. KL Rahul began the day with intent as he smashed two boundaries to set the tone of the day. Jaiswal on the other hand was scoring runs with ease as he smashed the Australian bowlers to all parts of the ground. 

Indian openers went past the 200 run mark to establish an amazing start to the innings. With the score reading 201, Mitchell Starc finally got the much needed wicket for his side. Bowling round the wicket, the left-arm seamer induced an edge to dismiss KL Rahul. The 32-year-old scored 77 runs from 176 balls with five hits to the fence. 

At lunch, India were 275/1 with Jaiswal batting on 141 from 264 balls with 12 fours and 3 sixes. Devdutt Padikkal was keeping him company on 25 runs from 70 balls with two boundaries. The overall lead for India is a massive 321 runs and there are still 8 more sessions to be played in the game.
