India had an exceptional comeback in the ongoing India vs Australia Border-Gavaskar Trophy Perth Test. Jasprit Bumrah's heroics led India to clean up the Aussies under 238 runs within 58.4 overs.

However, India's chances were looking shrill at the end of Day 1 as India got bowled out by the Australian bowling lineup standing at 150 runs. Before the play resumed on Day 3, assistant coach Abhishek Nayar spoke up on India's sudden collapse.

Nayar Praises Gautam Gambhir, Bumrah's Leadership Abilities 

Abhishek Nayar asserted that the pitch favoured the bowlers. He then shared that the team regained its confidence after receiving feedback from the first innings.

"I think in the first innings there was a lot more assistance for the fast bowlers and I also felt with Yashasvi playing his first game in Australia, getting a bit of feedback, had a few conversations after the first innings, try to evaluate and work around our gameplan and I felt in the second innings we left a lot more balls and we were a lot more prepared to play a longer innings," Nayar told 7Cricket.

Nayar further showed belief in the team stating the role Gautam Gambhir and Jasprit Bumrah played while leading the Men in Blue.

 "Well I think when the team is always in trouble it's the leadership group that always comes in, Gauti bhai (Gautam Gambhir), Bumrah, I think the talk was all about the belief. When we played at the WACA, we had a great preparation camp and we realized that if you can hit the right areas in Australia, specially in Perth, you can get assistance and we knew with the kind of attack we had, if we got early wickets, things could happen, captain stepped up, picked up those 3 wickets, got the momentum going, sometimes you just need the rub of the green and I thought we had it our way," Nayar added.

Jasprit Bumrah was awarded the Man of the Match for the Perth Test after taking a fiery total of 8 wickets across both innings of the Australian team. His outstanding performance played a significant role in the downfall of the green baggy caps.
