On the second day of the Perth Test, Australia collapsed for just 104 runs and after this Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul together added 172 runs, as a result Team India has now gained a lead of 218 runs and there are still three days of play left. In such a situation, if Team India reaches a big score on the third day, then disaster is certain to happen with Australia in Perth.

Yashasvi-Rahul buried stake in Perth

After the defeat of captain Jasprit Bumrah, Team India needed excellent batting in the second innings and Yashasvi Jaiswal-KL Rahul did it. These two batsmen together added 172 runs, which is the first time in the last 20 years that Team India's openers have done this on Australian soil. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his first half-century in Australia and remained unbeaten on 90 runs till the end of the day's play. KL Rahul also recovered from poor form and scored unbeaten 62 runs.

Bumrah did wonders

Well, before the wonders of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, Bumrah's magic worked. Bumrah, who is captaining Team India, took 5 wickets for just 30 runs in the first innings. It is on the strength of Bumrah that Team India has progressed so far in this match despite scoring only 150 runs in the first innings. Apart from Bumrah, Harshit Rana also bowled brilliantly and took 3 wickets. Siraj got 2 wickets.

Why is Team India's victory certain now?

Team India's victory is now considered certain because when it comes on the third day, it has all 10 wickets left in its hands and it has a lead of 218 runs. Also, no team has ever won a chase at the Optus ground in Perth. In all four test matches played here, the team batting first has won. By the way, if we talk about Perth city, South Africa had achieved the target of 414 runs against Australia in 2008 at the old WACA ground here, so Team India would like to make the biggest score in the second innings.
