Jaiswal's cautious yet aggressive approach, coupled with Rahul's technical finesse, placed India in a robust position after a stellar performance by skipper Jasprit Bumrah.

Yashasvi Jaiswal exhibited remarkable game awareness and shot selection, while KL Rahul's technical proficiency shone in their undefeated 172-run opening stand. India's overall lead of 218 runs set them up to dominate Australia in the opening Test.
