**Perth, Australia:** India is poised for victory in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. At tea on day four, Australia, chasing a challenging 354, had lost 8 wickets for 227 runs, leaving them needing a remarkable turnaround to avoid defeat. India requires just two more wickets to secure a resounding win.
A stunning catch by Dhruv Jurel, a young wicketkeeper, was the highlight of the day’s play. Jurel took a one-handed screamer at short leg to dismiss Mitchell Starc off Washington Sundar’s bowling, leaving the Indian players and commentators in awe. While the wicket was officially credited to Sundar, the breathtaking catch was undoubtedly the turning point.
Earlier in the match, India, after winning the toss and electing to bat first, scored 150 runs in their first innings. However, a brilliant bowling performance led by Jasprit Bumrah bundled out Australia for a paltry 104, giving India a crucial 46-run lead. In their second innings, India displayed resilience and patience, declaring at 487/6, setting Australia an imposing target of 354. The Australian chase has faltered significantly, paving the way for a potential Indian victory.
