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 continue their Sri Lanka dominance taking game one without a flutter. BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) India made short work of a Sri Lanka team lacking batting depth cruising to a 43- run win in game one of a three match series in Pallekelle.  The gulf between the two nations continues to be concerning with Sri Lanka appearing to carry psychological scars of their previous meetings which were disastrous. The well tuned Indians fresh from the recently concluded IPL, were very much in control and executed their plans to perfection.  The unusual rushed schedule appears to be designed for ‘big brothers’ need, judging by back-to-back games and then a short break before the last encounter.  Batting first, India made a brisk start against an attack that lacked early penetration as they built up enough momentum to post 213 for 7 in their allotment.  Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal ...

PHOTO wd not dowlnload You may, by now, have heard the origin story of Yashasvi Jaiswal, the 22-year-old Indian opener who has just crunched 712 runs in a series, the most inflicted on an England side by any Indian batter in Test history. No matter – it’s a tale that bears repeating. Jaiswal was just a slight and shy 10-year-old boy when he left his home district of Bhadohi, eastern Uttar Pradesh, with his father, and headed 1,000 miles south across India’s vast expanse to the bright lights of Mumbai in pursuit of a seemingly impossible dream – to make it as ...
