India Leads After Day 2 in Perth Test

In the ongoing Test series between India and Australia at Perth, India is in a strong position after Day 2, largely thanks to an impressive 172-run opening stand by Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, who remained unbeaten at stumps. Jaiswal, hailed as 'special' by Sunil Gavaskar, scored 90 not out, rebounding from a first-innings duck, and is praised for his hunger for big scores. Meanwhile, India's stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah received acclaim for his exceptional bowling, taking four wickets and helping India restrict Australia to 67/7 after being bowled out for 150. Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy also made a significant impact with his debut innings of 41, showcasing resilience and skill against challenging Australian conditions. The day's play saw 17 wickets fall, highlighting the tricky nature of the Perth pitch and the prowess of the bowlers on both sides.
