BGT 2024-25, Perth Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal equals UNIQUE record of Rahul Dravid and Chris Gayle

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal brought up his maiden Test hundred in Australia during the ongoing first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Perth on Sunday (Nov. 24). This was the southpaw's fourth Test hundred overall, and he reached the milestone with a six off the ramp shot, becoming only the third visiting player to do so Down Under.

Before Jaiswal, India's Rahul Dravid had done the same during his iconic innings in Adelaide 2003, and so did West Indies' Chris Gayle in 2009.

Aussie pacer Josh Hazlewood bowled a bouncer to Jaiswal and the batter sent the ball towards the third-man area for a six. Have a look at the video below:

The southpaw scored 161 before getting out—his fourth Test hundred and all of them above 150. He is only the second player in Test history to convert his first four hundreds into 150s, with the other being former SA skipper Graeme Smith.

Jaiswal also went past the likes of Pakistan's Javed Miandad, West Indian Brian Lara, and Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene, who all converted their first three Test hundreds into 150s.

He also added 201 runs for the opening wicket with KL Rahul (77), the highest Test opening partnership for India in Australia. The pair faced 378 balls for the partnership—the second most by a visiting opening pair in Tests in Australia.

As for the match, India declared their second innings at 487/6 and set up a target of 534 for Australia to chase. India's stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah, who had taken 5/30 in the first innings, took two more wickets in the second innings as Australia were pinned down at 12/3 by the close of play.
