Fri Nov 22 11:08:11 UTC 2024: ## India Dominates Day 1 in Perth Thriller
**Perth, Australia** – Jasprit Bumrah spearheaded a stunning Indian bowling performance on Day 1 of the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia, leaving the hosts reeling at 67/7 at the close of play. India, after being bowled out for 150 earlier in the day, capitalized on a shaky Australian batting lineup.
Bumrah was the star, claiming three crucial wickets – including Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith in consecutive deliveries – and dismissing Australian captain Pat Cummins late in the day. His devastating spell was supported by Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana, who claimed his maiden Test wicket by dismissing Travis Head.
Earlier, Nitish Reddy’s fighting 41 helped India reach 150 in their first innings, despite Josh Hazlewood’s impressive four-wicket haul for Australia. However, India’s bowling prowess completely overshadowed Australia’s early advantage, setting the stage for a potentially decisive second day. The match continues at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
