Jasprit Bumrah was the star for India with the ball in the first innings as the stand-in India skipper grabbed a 5-wicket haul to stun the Australian team. With the surface helping the pacers, Bumrah tormented the Aussie batters as he picked up his second fifer against Australia.

Interestingly, this was his seventh fifer in SENA country, showcasing his domination on away surfaces. India posted a mere 150 in their first innings and the bowlers had a lot of responsibility to bring their side back in the contest. 

Bumrah did exactly that as he bowled at the right lines and lengths and finished with figures of 5 for 30 as Australia got bundled out for a mere 104. However, instead of celebrating his greatness, fans in Perth who witnessed his spell accused the Indian pacer of chucking.

Despite being the best bowler on Day 1 and Day 2, the Australian fans took a dig at his bowling style and questioned ICC for allowing Bumrah to continue the bowling.

Jaiswal's century puts India in driving seat

Young Yashasvi Jaiswal brought up his fourth Test century and his first against Australia as India are in the driving seat on the morning of Day 3.

Team India had a 46 run lead after dismissing Australia for 104, and the opening pair of Jaiswal and KL Rahul added 201 runs to push Australia on the verge of defeat. Jaiswal, who scored a duck in the first innings scored a stunning hundred as India have a 247 run lead at the moment.

While Jaiswal reached the three-figure mark, KL Rahul wasn't so lucky as he was dismissed for 77.
