Taking a 1-0 lead in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India defeated Australia by 295-run at Optus Stadium. Thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s outstanding 161 and Virat Kohli’s unbroken 100, India responded sharply after being knocked out for 150 and declared their second innings at 487 for 6. Australia battled in response, falling to 238 all out, and Jasprit Bumrah led the assault with 3 for 42, claiming Player of the Match honours. India’s biggest run victory in Australia was this one.

Glenn Maxwell made a huge statement about Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jasprit Bumrah after India hammered Australia in the 1st Test

 Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell believes Yashasvi Jaiswal’s ability to adapt to various conditions and minimal weaknesses will see the Indian opener score over 40 Test centuries and rewrite multiple records.Hailed as one of Indian cricket’s brightest young talents, the 22-year-old made a dazzling start to his Test career. He cemented his spot in the team with a stunning performance against England earlier this year.

Playing his first Test Down Under, Jaiswal left an indelible impression with a remarkable 161 in the second innings as India defeated Australia to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

His knock in Perth was his fourth century in just 15 Tests. The southpaw has converted each of those tons into a 150+ score. Jaiswal has so far collected 1,568 runs at an impressive average of 58.07, and his ability to bounce back from a first-innings duck in Perth showcased his resilience and class.

Bumrah is going to go down as potentially the best fast bowler of all time. Jasprit Bumrah, who led India to their most dominant win in Australia in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, reinforced his status as the best bowler in the world with a stunning performance.

The stand-in skipper led by example with a match-haul of 8/72 in the Perth Test and Maxwell believes the pacer could go down as “potentially the best fast bowler of all time.”
