King Kohli notches his 30th century and with Jaiswal sets up Australia’s nightmare start to Summer. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor)   Australia are on the ropes as India hovers over them and readies itself to deliver the knock-out blow at a stunning boilover in Perth. Centuries from new sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal, 161 off 297 balls, and a adventurous 30th Test hundred from veteran Virat Kholi 100 off 143 balls,  delivered the killer blow to any aspirations of an Australian comeback which was further endorsed by India’s bowlers who left the home team in tatters at 3 for 12 by the close of day two. Jasprit Bumrah who has been almost unplayable followed his bag of 5 for 30 in the first innings, and two quick wickets in the second,  stands out as the player who will determine Australia’s fate and whether they have worked out ...

India gains upperhand after dramatic arm wrestle.  – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) In a game of wildly fluctuating fortunes, India have grabbed the upperhand over Australia as the gamble to match pace for pace has so far backfired on a pacy and unpredictable Perth wicket.  22- year -old batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal showing maturity beyond his age, combined with brilliant K.L Rahul to reduce Australia’s feared pace quartet to worrying ineffectual impact as they built what looks like an imposing total on a wicket that may give the Indians an edge. Jaiawal is 90 not out and heading for his third Test century at his tender age suggesting a continuation of incredible batting talent emerging from the Indian riches. How Australia responds, and if they can make early inroads into this massive partnership, will hinge on Australia’s chances to swing things around or hold off an ...

India has the wood on Australia but South Africa looms as the biggest threat. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports editor) Photo Courtesy of ICC. © ICC 2023 (media contact; Trevine Rodrigo – ICC approved media partner India underlined their favourite tag with a clinical win over Australia proving that the recent series success has definitely given them the wood over another World Cup favourite.  The Aussies were all at sea against a varied and skilful Indian bowling attack that made heavy inroads after David Warner and Steven Smith earlier looked set to steer them to a winning total.  The exit of Warner and Smith signalled a steady stream of wickets as India’s pace spin combination disassembled the strong Australian batting to keep them down to less than 200 and apply enough pressure to ensure no fightback.  But the Aussies are known for their grit and determination when ...
