Fans are amazed as Mitchell Starc allows Jaiswal a moment to reflect after dismissing him on the first ball of the game!

Jaiswal was recorded by the Stump mic after he told Starc that:

Well, India won the 1st Test at Perth by 295 runs. The 2nd Test is underway, and India will look to extend their lead of 1-0 while the Australians will make sure to make the most of the home advantage to level the series.
