Stats - Jaiswal converts yet another ton into a 150-plus score

201 Partnership runs between Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, the highest opening stand for India in Tests in Australia. Kris Srikkanth and Sunil Gavaskar held the record previously with their 191-run partnership in Sydney in 1986.

6 Opening pairs with a partnership of 200-plus runs in Tests against Australia in Australia, including Jaiswal and Rahul. The previous five such stands were all put up by England's openers. The last of the previous five was in 1991, a 203-run stand between Graham Gooch and Mike Atherton at the Adelaide Oval.

378 Number of balls batted out by the opening pair of Rahul and Jaiswal. It is the second-longest opening stand by a visiting pair in Australia since 1998 (from when complete data is available). Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook batted out 398 balls in the second innings of the 2010 Brisbane Test for their 188-run stand.

3 Opening stands of 200-plus runs for India in their second innings of a Test match, including Jaiswal-Rahul's effort in Perth. Their previous two came against England - 213 by Gavaskar and Chetan Chauhan in 1979 at The Oval and 203 by Vijay Merchant and Mushtaq Ali in Manchester in 1936.

4 Number of 150-plus scores for Jaiswal in Tests, the joint-second most by any batter before turning 23. Don Bradman tops the list with five such scores, while Javed Miandad and Graeme Smith also have four 150-plus scores before their 23rd birthday.

2 Number of players who have converted each of their first four Test hundreds into 150-plus scores. Graeme Smith and Jaiswal are the two players on the list.

3 Indian batters with three or more 150-plus scores in a calendar year in Tests before Jaiswal in 2024. Sachin Tendulkar (in 2002 and 2004), Virender Sehwag (in 2004 and 2008) and Virat Kohli (in 2016 and 2017) are the other ones.

3 Indian men with a century in their maiden Test in Australia, including Jaiswal. ML Jaisimha in 1968 and Sunil Gavaskar in 1977 scored hundreds in India's second innings in Brisbane during their respective debuts on Australian soil.

1 Rahul is the first Indian opener to be part of a century opening stand in Tests in Australia, England and South Africa. Rahul was previously part of a 126-run stand with Rohit Sharma at Lord's in 2021 and added 117 runs with Mayank Agarwal in Centurion in 2021.

35 Sixes hit by Jaiswal in the 12 Tests he played so far in 2024, the most by any batter in a calendar year in the format. He bettered Brendon McCullum's record, who hit 33 sixes in nine Tests in 2014.

3 Previous instances of the opening partnership in the third innings of a men's Test match being higher than the team totals in the first innings. The last such instance was by Shan Masood and Abid Ali, who had a 278-run opening stand against Sri Lanka in the 2019 Karachi Test after the first-innings totals of 191 and 271.

England's Graeme Fowler and Chris Tavaré added 223 against New Zealand in 1983 at The Oval, where the first two innings totals were 209 and 196, while Justin Langer and Matthew Hayden put on 242 against West Indies after both teams made 240 in their respective first innings at St John's in 2003.
