PERTH, Australia : Makeshift opener KL Rahul repaid the faith India have showed in him despite recent struggles, helping to put the touring side in the driving seat against Australia in the first test in Perth on Saturday.
India's A-lister Jasprit Bumrah has earned a place among the best of all time on the back of his flamboyant performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener in Perth against Australia. With his scorching pace, Bumrah set the Perth strip on fire with his fiery spells, leaving the Australian batting unit rattled in the first innings. With his temperament, Bumrah set the tempo of the innings by making the ball obey his will. He consistently bowled in the corridor of intensity to wreak havoc and put India in a dominant position.
PERTH :Australia were bowled out for 104 on Saturday after fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah picked up his 11th five-wicket haul to help India to a 46-run lead at lunch on day two of the first test in Perth.
India are dominating Australia in the first Test. Captain Jasprit Bumrah picked a dazzling 5-30 as India secured a handy 46-run lead at lunch on day two of first Test after bowling out Australia for 104 in 51.2 overs at Perth Stadium on Saturday. It is also the third lowest-score for Australia in Tests at home since 2000. In the morning, resuming form 67/7, India looked certain to end the innings early, but Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood frustrated them with a dogged last-wicket stand of 25 off 110 balls, as they were able to keep the deficit below 50 runs. Apart from Bumrah, debutant all-rounder Harshit Rana finished with 3-48.
Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah made history on Saturday, securing his seventh five-wicket haul in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries, tying with legendary Kapil Dev for most by an Indian bowler in aforementioned countries. Bumrah added yet another feather to his hat and added to his legacy as India's all-time great in SENA conditions during the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Perth against Australia. India has a weak record in SENA countries historically and started improving their record in 2000s.
Things are getting heated up in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. After a 17-wicket Day 1, the action on Day 2 started with Jasprit Bumrah dismissing Alex Carey. Then Harshit Rana too joined the party with the wicket of Nathan Lyon. The debutant pacer bowled full tilt generating bounce from the Perth track. In fact, he went on to give the Australia a taste of his bounce barrage. So much so, that Starc issued Rana a cheeky warning: "I bowl faster than you. I have a long memory". He indicated that Rana might face the same bouncer music.
India pacer Mohammed Siraj had an heated exchange with Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne on Day 1 of the 1st Test in Perth on Friday. The incident happened after the 4th ball of the 13th over of Australia's innings in the post-Tea session. Tempers flared between the two as Siraj bowled a short of a length delivery which nipped back and hit Labuschagne on the top of his pad. Since Labuschagne was out of his crease and the ball was close to the stumps, Siraj reacted and ran towards the striker's end to pick the ball
