"yashasvi-jaiswal"

After the heavy roller was used before play on Day 2 and again after Australia’s first innings ended at 104, India gained a useful 46-run lead, which helped ease the pitch under the scorching sun. This made batting easier for Jaiswal and Rahul, who finished Day 2 unbeaten on 90 and 62, respectively. The pair have put India in a strong position, with their second innings total standing at 172/0 after 57 overs.

I was waiting for this moment for a long time. Coming after injury and scoring a hundred…it is incredible, says the 22-year-old batter

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill put together a half-century partnership for the second wicket, with Jaiswal surviving some tense moments to score 30 runs off 52 balls, including four boundaries. They added 53 runs together before Jaiswal was bowled by Ajaz Patel while attempting a reverse sweep. India's woes deepened when nightwatchman Mohammed Siraj was trapped LBW by Patel for a golden duck, followed by Virat Kohli's run-out for just four runs.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli struggled with the bat, while the formidable spin duo of R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja also failed to make a significant impact

If the hosts endured their first defeat after 18 consecutive Test series victories, New Zealand celebrated their first ever series-victory on the Indian soil in nearly 70 years.

Off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar justified his selection in the playing eleven at the expense of Kuldeep Yadav through picking career-best figures of 7-59 in his 23.1 overs as New Zealand were bowled for 259

Captain Rohit Sharma says there was some swelling and the team did not want to take any risks

India lost the wickets of skipper Rohit Sharma (2), Virat Kohli (0) and Sarfaraz Khan (0) early in the morning

Gill was unavailable for selection of the first Test due to a neck stiffness, says the Indian team management after the toss

Rohit, who played 15 innings this year, has made two hundreds but managed only one fifty in the remaining 13, totaling 497 runs in eight Tests at just over 35

"We have two winners this time because I appreciated the effort put forth, and as Rohit mentioned, our catching percentage in these two Tests was 9%, which is commendable. I believe both Jaiswal and Siraj deserved this medal, as they consistently demonstrated intent in every game."

Bangladesh still trail by 26 runs. Ashwin did the damage with a two-wicket haul (2/14).

The move reunites Rathour with Dravid at the franchise, after their national team stints ended with a Men's T20 World Cup win

Apart from Gill, a few more important players will also be rested keeping the the three- Test series against New Zealand in mind

While Nishant Sandhu comes in as a replacement for Axar in India D squad, Tushar Deshpande ruled out of game due to a niggle and his place will be taken by India A's Vidwath Kaverappa

Zimbabwe had won the first T20 by 13 runs, with India then rebounding with four consecutive wins. It won the second, third and fourth T20s by 100 runs, 23 runs, and 10 wickets, respectively.

Gill's unbeaten 58 helps Men in Blue secure third consecutive win, sealing the series 3-1 with one game left on Sunday.

The former spinner added that there should not be any further debate regarding wicketkeeper batter in the Men in Blue squad and Samson should be included in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad.

Jaiswal took 60 balls to reach the 104-run mark at a strike rate of 173.33. He slammed 9 fours and 7 sixes during his time on the crease.
