India convincingly defeated the Australian team at Perth to go 1-0 up in the series.Despite missing some key players like Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, Team India produced a miraculous performance after getting bundled out for 150.
The side was well led by Jasprit Bumrah who led from the front in Rohit's absence and picked up a 5-wicket haul to rattle the Australian side. The champion bowler picked up his seventh fifer in SENA nations as the home team had no answer to his craft.
Australia were knocked over for 104 and in reply, Indian batters made the most out of the brilliant batting conditions as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli scored scintillating hundreds to setup a mammoth 534 for the hosts to chase, and they faltered badly, losing the match by a whopping 295 runs.
Now, the caravan shifts towards the second Test match and India will be bolstered by the return of Rohit Sharma, the captain. Ahead of the match, let us look at the key details from the contest.
