IND vs AUS: 17 wickets..217 runs, Kangaroo trembled with the havoc of Bumrah on the very first day of Perth Test, broke 72 years old record

IND vs OFF: The game on the first day of the first Test being played between India and Australia in Perth was in the name of fast bowlers. Both teams together took a record 17 wickets on the first day, which is a new record for the highest number of wickets on the first day in the history of Test cricket in Australia. Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah performed brilliantly and did not allow the Australian batsmen to settle down.

The struggle of the batsmen was clearly visible on the first day. First India was all out for 150 runs and then Australia too, in reply, had lost 7 wickets for 67 runs by the end of the day's play. The bounce and seam movement on the pitch created problems for the batsmen.

Indian team had a very bad start

Team India collapsed for 150 runs

Virat Kohli tried to handle the innings with KL Rahul, but he too was out after scoring only 5 runs. KL Rahul (26 runs) certainly struggled, but he was given out in a controversial manner. After this, even the middle order batsmen could not do anything special, and the entire team collapsed for 150 runs.

Bumrah's havoc

Australia's innings also had a bad start. In the third over, Jasprit Bumrah gave out LBW to Nathan McSweeney (10 runs). Bumrah got Usman Khawaja (8 runs) caught out by Virat Kohli on the very next ball. After this, Steve Smith also returned to the pavilion without opening the account on Bumrah's ball. Australia's score became 3 wickets for 19 runs. After this, the Indian bowlers maintained constant pressure and by the end of the day's play, the Kangaroo team lost 7 wickets for 67 runs.

Bumrah and Hazlewood's magic
