The swashbuckling Indian opener was the leading run scorer for the visitors on a near perfect day in the opening Border-Gavaskar series Test.

Jaiswal, the batsman who has battered all bowlers in India, in West Indies, but couldn’t replicate it on tough Test pitches in South Africa - his only real blip so to say - has taken that big step in Australia.

Yashasvi Jaiswal admitted that he was left a bit confused when it came to celebrating the magnificent hundred he scored in Perth against Australia. Jaiswal's maiden hundred down under setup a fine win for India in the first Test.

Having moved to Mumbai from Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi at age 11 to train at Azad Maidan, Jaiswal lived in tents with the groundsmen and sold paani puri at night to earn money for food.
