The 28-year-old right-handed batsman's monumental innings spanned over two days, facing 523 deliveries and included 38 boundaries and 8 towering sixes. His historic knock helped India post a mammoth first-innings total of 621/7 declared, giving them a commanding position in the crucial Test match.
Day One: Setting the Stage
Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. The decision seemed vindicated when openers David Warner and Marcus Harris put on a solid start. But then came the fightback. Mohammed Siraj, playing only his third Test match, and Shardul Thakur showed courage and skill beyond their experience.
The triple century broke several records, including the highest individual score by an Indian batsman in Australia, surpassing the previous record of 281. He also became the youngest Indian to score 300 runs in a Test match and registered his 29th Test century, drawing level with the legendary Sunil Gavaskar
