India Crush Aussies in Perth
India, who missed their regular skipper Rohit Sharma in the first Test match, defeated the home-team in Perth under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah. The match saw Virat Kohli return to form as he slammed his 81st Test century along with Yashasvi Jaiswal who won hearts with his 161-run knock. On the bowling front, Bumrah bagged a brilliant eight-wicket haul and was supported by the others.
On the other hand, Australian bowlers particularly Mitchell Starc did well in the first innings to restrict India at just 150 on Day 1. However, there batting lacked the spirit and they would be keen on working on it in the upcoming practice match.
