Jaiswal and Rahul’s partnership underscores the promise of India’s emerging batting combinations, combining tenacity with class. It is now part of India’s storied rivalry with Australia.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was the more aggressive of the Indian opening pair on Saturday, November 23, remaining unbeaten on 90 off 193 balls. The young opener punished anything loose, particularly off Nathan Lyon, using his footwork to disrupt the spinner’s rhythm.

On the other hand, Rahul played the role of a sheet anchor, soaking up pressure and scoring a patient 62 off 153 deliveries. Together, they negated the early movement offered by the Perth wicket and frustrated the Australian bowlers, who were unable to break through despite trying various tactics.
