Yashasvi Jaiswal has cemented his place in India's Test team through his strong performance in a very short time. Jaiswal also got a place in Team India's squad for the Australia tour. This young batsman proved the selectors' decision completely right by scoring a century in the Perth Test. However, Jaiswal could not maintain his form in the day-night test being held in Adelaide. He returned to the pavilion without opening his account on the first ball of the match. Mitchell Starc made him his victim. In this way, Jaiswal became the second Indian opener to be out on a duck in a day-night test.
