Day 2 of the Perth Test saw a complete change in the nature of the pitch. With the first day seeing a flurry of wickets, the second one witnessed a steady flow of runs. India’s openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul remained unbeaten with India 172/0 after the second day. Former cricketers were in awe of the batters and praised them highly. Meanwhile, the IPL 2025 auction is just around the corner and the preparations for it continue behind the scenes.
Here are some top social media updates from cricketing fraternity on November 23:
It’s basic nature really, if you want to play & excel at Test cricket, even if you have the T20 game. Test batting is tough & rewards not commensurate with effort. Both Jaiswal & Rahul want to. So their basic nature has to be applauded! 👏👏👏

India stood tall, The Opening partnership of 172 by KL Rahul & Jaiswal broke Australia’s back while putting them on their knees. Australia looked helpless in front of Indian openers today. And those who were writing off India must feel embarrassed now! 💯🔥#INDvAUS #INDvsAUS

Loving this partnership between @ybj_19 & @klrahul .. So much skill on show .. but the most impressive is the discipline in defence .. it’s exactly the way to Bat in Oz against this quality .. #AUSvINDIA

Just 22 and look at his technique and temperament, that too in Australia. Yashasvi Jaiswal passes the big test. Indian openers scoring runs is bad news for Australia. #AUSvIND

What a comeback, #TeamIndia! Incredible bowling by Bumrah with a 5-wicket haul to remember, and hats off to Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul for a brilliant start in the chase. Carry on the momentum! 🔥 #INDvsAUS
