"Best Since Malcolm Marshall": Social Media Goes Completely Crazy Over Jasprit Bumrah After Day 1

India's stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah ran through the Australian top order in the final session of Day 1 of the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth.

Such was Bumrah's magnificence that many on social media were left in awe yet again.

A big surprise unfolded ahead of the start of play in the first Test between India and Australia in Perth on Friday as the spin twins of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin were snubbed. India's stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah and head coach Gautam Gambhir decided to add spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar to the team instead.

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.

"Rohit Sharma Laid-Back, Jasprit Bumrah Smiley Bloke": England Great's 'Aggression' Bombshell

Former England cricket team skipper Michael Vaughan believes that India lacks 'aggressive leadership' going into the five-match Test series against Australia. There has been a lot of chatter around the series with the first match starting in Perth on Friday. In his column for The Telegraph, Vaughan wrote that in the previous two occasions when India won a series in Australia, they had Virat Kohli as captain and Ravi Shastri as coach - two figures well known for their positive brand of cricket. However, he called skipper Rohit Sharma as "laid-back" and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah a 'lovely, smiley bloke'.

Ricky Ponting Points Out One Star Player That "India Will Definitely Miss" In Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has been bold with his opinions ahead of the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia, and has now criticised India's decision to not include Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test squad. Pujara - a man who has nearly 2,000 runs against Australia at an average of nearly 50 - was not included for the series, having been dropped from the Indian Test squad ever since the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final. Ponting stated that this could be a mistake made by the selectors.

KL Rahul Achieves Big Feat With 26-Run Knock vs Australia In Perth Test

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.
