Telecom Asia Sport: From an Indian perspective, all eyes will be on how young left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal fares in the second day-night Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, starting on Friday.

Left-handed Jaiswal had taken the cricketing world by storm through hitting a brilliant 161 in the second innings, after being out for a duck in the first essay, and playing a pivotal hand in India winning the Perth Test by 295 runs.

Now, his childhood friend Mudassir Khan said Jaiswal told him about doing something big on the tour of Australia. “Usne bola tha ke woh kuch bada karega (he had said he would do something big). And he did that in the first Test itself.
