India started the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in style, winning by massive 295-runs in the first Test at Perth Stadium. Chasing an impossible target of 534, Australia crumbled for just 238.
Jasprit Bumrah, who was India’s stand-in captain in the first Test, was also the star with the ball, picking up eight wickets, including a brilliant five-wicket haul. Despite the dominant performance, India is expected to make a couple of changes in the second Test at Adelaide.

Regular captain Rohit Sharma has rejoined the team and is set to lead the side. Shubman Gill is also likely to return after recovering from his injury.
The first Test win silenced critics who doubted India’s chances in the series, especially after their poor outing in New Zealand. India’s bowlers were instrumental, dismissing Australia for just 104 in their first innings.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli then shone with the bat, scoring centuries that helped India set an imposing total in the second innings. The win gives India momentum, but Adelaide’s pink-ball Test will present a fresh challenge.
For Australia though, they will be looking to bounce back after getting crushed at home in the first Test. This series is crucial for both the teams as they look to secure a spot in the WTC final.
