Team India left the hosts on 3/12 on Day 3 in Perth. Indian bowlers were right on the money to capitalise on the situation and restrict Aussies as much as they could.

Tons from Jaiswal and Kohli give India a lead of 533 Runs

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his 4th Test ton and first on Australian soil and led Team India's batting foundation on Day 3 as well. He was dismissed by Mitchell Marsh for 161. Virat Kohli made his comeback in style and scored his 30th Ton in Perth. He has been off form so far and it's a huge boost for Team India that Kohli is back in form. Team India declared their innings on 487-6 with a mammoth lead of 533 runs. It was Kohli's 81st ton in International cricket.

At one time India were 5 down for 321 as the wickets of set batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Dhruv Jurel fell in quick succession. Virat Kohli stood firm from one end and he got the support of Washington Sundar which was much needed. The pair stitched an 89-run partnership for the 6th wicket and steadied India's innings. Washington Sundar fell prey to Nathan Lyon as he missed his delivery completely and hit on the stumps. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy came and accelerated very well as he scored 38* off 27 which included three fours and two sixes as well.

Virat Kohli completed his hundred with a boundary by sweeping away to the leg side. It took him 16 innings to end the hundred drought in this format. Kohli also scored a hundred here in the 2018/19 tour and repeated the same heroics today when it was much needed for his side.

Skipper Bumrah leads India's bowling attack again

Team India declared immediately after Virat Kohli completed his hundred. India were leading by 533 runs and then the hosts have to bat there for some 5-7 overs which was a hard task for them. Indian pacers took advantage of this perfectly as they capitalized and left them in shambles as Day 3 play ended on Australia being 12 for loss of three wickets. Jasprit Bumrah got rid of Nathan McSweeney on the 4th ball by a plumb LBW. Ball kept low and McSweeney wasn't able to defend it.

Skipper Pat Cummins took on the responsibility as Night Watchman to protect Marnus' wicket but he didn't last longer as Siraj got him caught in slips. Marnus Labuschagne walked out to bat with almost nine minutes left. But Bumrah got him by LBW as the ball kept low again. This Perth wicket has misbehaved again. Labuschagne did review it but it couldn't do anything better as Richard Gaffaney wasn't able to reverse the decision. It was a huge blow for the hosts.
