Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah and Mohd Siraj claimed three Australian wickets before stumps as the home side looked to chase down a mammoth 534-run target in two days at the Optus Stadium in Perth

India dominated Day 3 of the first Test against Australia in Perth, setting a commanding target of 534 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul's opening stand of 201, followed by Virat Kohli's century, propelled India to 487/6 declared.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's stunning 161 runs against Australia in Perth has drawn parallels to Sachin Tendulkar's early success. With only four Indian centuries in Perth since 1977, Jaiswal's achievement marks a significant milestone in his emerging career.

Jasprit Bumrah dismisses Marnus Labuschagne for just 3 and it's stumps. India are in a commanding position here with three wickets in their kitty. Brilliant from Bumrah and Siraj in the 4.2 overs India got to bowl in the final half an hour of the game.

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.

Yashasvi Jaiswal remained unbeaten for 141 at the end of the first session. India have a massive lead in the bag already.

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a brilliant century in the first Test against Australia, reaching the milestone off 205 balls with a six off Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood. Jaiswal and KL Rahul had previously added 200 runs for the opening wicket after India resumed their innings at 172-0 on Day 3.

Jaiswal goes strong and brings up his fifty. KL Rahul on the other hand is still unbeaten in the 40s. The duo has now been settled in the middle of the Optus stadium. Australian bowlers are falling short to claim their first wicket on day two of the first Test.
