PERTH : Australia's seamers, led by Josh Hazlewood who claimed four wickets, combined to bundle India out for 150 on Friday but the hosts fared even worse with the bat on day one of the first test, slumping to 67-7 at stumps in Perth.
India's batting order collapse against Australia in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Perth meant that the team were once again left to rely on Rishabh Pant to stabilise things in the middle. Coming in to bat at 32/3, Pant once again had to take the responsibility of taking India out of a tricky situation. While Pant could not accelerate in his usual high strike rate, he still found time to pull off another unique shot, leaving the commentators in absolute awe.
India batter KL Rahul completed 3,000 Test runs on Thursday. Rahul accomplished this milestone during the first Test of the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. During the first innings, KL played a short, but a patient knock of 26 in 74 balls, with three boundaries. However, his knock was cut short by a controversial decision. Mitchell Starc did get his wicket after being caught behind by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. However, the question was if the sound in the snickometer came due to ball hitting the bat or his bat hitting the pad. The third umpire Richard Illingworth judged him to be out, with the ball hitting his bat.

As the debate around the dismissal continues on social media, former umpire Simon Taufel has given his definitive verdict.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir has insisted that he wants his team to play with an aggressive mindset against Australia in the five-match Test series, starting Friday. Gambhir and the Indian players will be desperate to prove a point after being clean swept 0-3 at home by New Zealand earlier this week. Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has praised Gambhir for his aggressive mindset, claiming that international cricket has lost its competitive edge with players from different countries sharing dressing rooms in franchise cricket.
