Young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal opened up on his sledge to fast bowler Mitchell Starc after he told him that he was bowling too slow on Day 2 of the ongoing first Test in Perth.

Yashasvi Jaiswal termed his “fearless mindset” and ability to take “brave decisions” as the catalysts behind his exceptional hundred against Australia in the ongoing first Test, here on Sunday.Jaiswal made a 161 in only his second innings on Australian soil and added 201 runs for the opening wicket with KL Rahul (77) to lay the foundation of India’s imposing 533-run target.

Yashasvi Jaiswal lived up to the billing the Australia media had given him ahead of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) opener in Perth. The 'New King' not just brought up his maiden century in Australia in his first match Down Under but also reached the milestone with the kind of bravado that fans used to associate with former opener Virender Sehwag.
