Star India opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal opened up on his 'too slow' sledge to Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc during Day 2 of the ongoing first Test against at Optus Stadium, Perth. Notably, Jaiswal played a magnificent knock of 161 (297) in the second innings with the help of 13 fours and three sixes as he helped India extend their lead beyond 50.

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.

Yashasvi Jaiswal hit an audacious uppercut to bring up his maiden hundred in Australia. Jaiswal completed his century in 205 balls on Day 3 of the opening Test match in Perth.
