Jaiswal made a 161 in only his second innings on Australian soil and added 201 runs for the opening wicket with KL Rahul (77) to lay the foundation of India바카라�s imposing 533-run target.

바카라�It was a very special moment for me. I always wanted to tour Australia and do well and this knock is very important for me,바카라� Jaiswal said in the post-day press meet.

바카라�I always wanted to play with a fearless mindset. I always believe in myself and take brave decisions. So, it was an amazing experience to play against such quality bowlers in their country, and it바카라�s special to score a hundred against the world바카라�s best,바카라� he added.

Jaiswal, who was dismissed for an eight-ball duck in the first innings, said the focus was on negating the new ball spell by Australian quicks.

바카라�The wicket was seaming a bit more in the first innings. In the second innings we were discussing how to play the new ball better 바카라� which balls to leave and which to play. So, it was important for the team that I play the new ball better.바카라�

Jaiswal said he had set small targets for himself in the second essay. 

"I never thought I would get this big a hundred, as my goals were small, taking it session by session. Then I had a good partnership with (KL) Rahul bhai. He was guiding me during the partnership, so that was helpful.바카라�

So, what was the conversation between him and Rahul during the alliance? 

바카라�We have been playing together for a while, we all know each other well and talk between ourselves in the dressing room.

바카라�Whenever I felt nervous in the middle, Rahul bhai was telling me to remain focused and calm. It was helpful because you are going to get some good balls in these kinds of pitches,바카라� he said. 

The left-hander said the team was prepared to tackle the bounce at Perth.

바카라�We knew that the ball would bounce here. We were prepared for the bounce. We had a nice camp here ahead of this Test. We were practicing in similar conditions with the same kind of mindset as how we can score runs in these conditions. It바카라�s all about practicing hard and learning what shots to play here,바카라� he explained.

Jaiswal brought up his fourth Test hundred with a remarkable ramped six off pacer Josh Hazlewood. The 22-year-old said he was mentally prepared for it.

바카라�To be honest, I knew he was going to bowl a bouncer because the field was set like that and I was ready for the bounce, and I was ready to play that shot. Happy that I pulled it off and carried on for some more time,바카라� he said.

바카라�Virat Paaji Is Incredible바카라�

Virat Kohli brought up his 30th Test hundred a while after Jaiswal reached the landmark, and the youngster said it was a privilege to watch and play alongside the star batter.

바카라�I have seen Virat paaji making runs at Perth (in 2018) on TV. Now, I have seen it live too. He has been doing it for a long, long time. So, he is just incredible. 

바카라�We were so happy for him that he could finish it. We were all waiting for his 100. He played amazingly,바카라� he said.
