Yashasvi Jaiswal Gets A Hug From Virat Kohli And Rishabh Pant

Young Team India opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was shocked in disbelief after throwing his wicket in the second innings of the ongoing Perth Test match. Yashasvi Jaiswal could not believe what happened and had to drag himself towards the pavilion after playing a match-deciding knock in the first Test.

Jaiswal resumed his innings on Day 3 at 90 runs in Perth on Sunday, November 24. The left-handed batter converted his knock to a century early in the morning session. However, the visiting team lost the wicket of opening batter KL Rahul, who scored 77 runs off 176 balls with the help of five boundaries.
