Virat Kohli equaled 'Don Bradman's' Asian record, Sachin's historic record is certain to be broken.

IND vs CLOSED: Yashaswi Jaiswal once again showed his talent and played a brilliant innings of 161 runs in the Perth Test. Due to this brilliant innings, India increased their total lead to 405 runs by scoring 359 runs for five wickets in the second innings till tea on the third day of the first cricket test against Australia. Yashaswi Jaiswal, who will turn 23 in December, scored his maiden century on Australian soil and scored 161 runs off 297 balls with 15 fours and three sixes during his innings. Jaiswal shared a record 201-run stand for the first wicket with Lokesh Rahul (77). At the time of the tee break, Virat Kohli was playing for 40 runs while Washington Sundar was playing for 14 runs.

After tea, Virat Kohli also followed in the footsteps of Jaiswal and KL and completed his half-century. Kohli scored a half-century off 94 balls with the help of 3 fours and 1 six. Thus, Kohli’s half-century drought, which lasted from the last 5 innings in Perth, ended. This year has been very bad for Kohli. In such a situation, this half-century has brought relief for him and Team India. His previous half-century with the bat came in the first Test of the three-match Test series against New Zealand in the Bengaluru Test last month.
