India delivered a stellar performance to claim a commanding 295-run victory over Australia in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Perth. The visitors, defending a mammoth target of 534, bowled out the hosts for 238, taking a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. The second Test is set to kick off on December 6 in Adelaide.

Match Highlights

– Top-Order Collapse:
Australia’s chase began disastrously, with openers Nathan McSweeney (0) and Usman Khawaja (4) failing to make an impact. Pat Cummins (2) and Marnus Labuschagne (3) followed suit, leaving the team reeling at 17/4.

– Middle-Order Resilience:
Travis Head’s gritty knock of 89 and Mitchell Marsh’s 47 offered temporary relief, stitching together an 82-run stand for the sixth wicket. However, Head fell to Jasprit Bumrah, while Marsh was dismissed by Nitish Reddy, extinguishing Australia’s hopes.

– Lower-Order Woes:
Contributions from Alex Carey (36), Mitchell Starc (12), and Josh Hazlewood (4) were insufficient as the Indian attack cleaned up the tail.

Bowling Brilliance
India’s bowlers showcased exceptional skill:
– Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were the standout performers, scalping three wickets each.
– Washington Sundar chipped in with two dismissals, while Nitish Reddy added one to his tally.

Series Outlook
With an emphatic win in their pocket, India heads to Adelaide with momentum firmly on their side. Australia, meanwhile, will look to regroup and level the series in the second Test.
