IND and OFF: Yashasvi Jaiwal created history by scoring a brilliant century in his first appearance on Australian soil. Jaiswal, who was dismissed in the first innings of the Perth Test, performed brilliantly in the second innings and the young opening batsman’s name entered the history books. Just 32 years before Jaiswal’s century, 17-year-old Sachin Tendulkar caught the world’s attention when he scored in the final two days of the deteriorating WACA ground. Now, Jaiswal has become a sensation in the cricketing world by scoring a century. Jaiswal, 22, is only the second Indian batsman to score a century after being dismissed in the first innings of a Test match in Australia. This great feat was previously accomplished by Sunil Gavaskar in 1977.
