Nitish Kumar Reddy, the bright young star got the license to go for the kill in India's second innings and he took the opportunity with both hands as the youngster came out with a positive frame of mind and took apart the Aussie attack.

With Washington Sundar departing, Nitish Kumar Reddy walked out in the middle and instantly started with a flurry of boundaries as his idol, Virat Kohli looked from the other end. After a commanding batting in the first innings, the young batter seized the opportunity in the second innings and was particularly severe on Mitch Marsh as he hammered him for three consecutive fours.

The onslaught started with a back-foot pull shot as Mitch Marsh got rattled. In the following delivery, he moved away from the crease and played the fuller length delivery through the covers. The cherry on the cake was the final boundary as he once again pulled Marsh and found the boundary towards mid wicket region.

India's lead goes past 500

India are in the driving seat, courtesy of some brilliant batting from Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. Jaiswal was at his imperial best as he smacked a scintillating 161 and took the game away from the opposition.

He added 201 runs for the opening wicket alongside KL Rahul, and once the two batters departed, it was time for the Virat Kohli show as the champion batter smacked his 30th Test ton and his seventh in Australian shores as India eye a historic win at Perth.
