IND vs AUS Perth Test: Team India's fast bowlers have wreaked havoc on the Perth ground. Australia's batsmen have faced a bad fate in their own home. By the time the score of 50 runs was reached, six batsmen of the host team had returned to the pavilion. The Kangaroo batsmen look completely helpless in front of the pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj. Bumrah has so far taken three wickets in his bag, while Siraj has also taken two wickets. This is only the second time in 44 years that Australia's batting order has faced this dilemma at home.

This situation happened for the second time in 44 years

Jasprit Bumrah gave a tremendous start to the Indian team after being all out for 150 runs. Bumrah dismissed Andrew McSweeney for just 10 runs in the third over of the innings. After this, Bumrah made Usman Khawaja his second victim. After sending Khawaja to the pavilion, Boom-Boom ended Steve Smith's innings on the very first ball. Australia had not even been able to handle two consecutive big blows when Harshit Rana, who was debuting in Perth, clean bowled the dangerous batsman Travis Head and sent him to the pavilion. From the other end, Mohammed Siraj also returned to form and he dismissed first Mitchell Marsh and then Marnus Labuschagne.

This is only the second time in Test cricket since 1980, when the Australian team has lost five wickets before the score of 40 runs in the first innings at home. In the Perth Test, five Australian batsmen were out after scoring only 38 runs. Earlier in the year 2016, against South Africa, Australia had lost its five wickets by adding just 17 runs.

Indian batting order was a flop

Earlier, the performance of Indian batsmen was also shameful on the Perth ground. The entire Indian team was all out after scoring only 150 runs. Nitish Reddy scored the maximum 41 runs for the team, while Rishabh Pant contributed 37 runs. However, batsmen like Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurail flopped miserably. Pat Cummins bowled brilliantly and took four wickets.
