India vs Australia Highlights, 1st Test: Jasprit Bumrah led the team from the front as India produced a superb comeback in the first Test against Australia in Perth on Friday. The interim skipper returned with clinical figures reading 4/17 as Australia finished Day 1 at 67/7, still trailing by 83 runs. Bumrah found great assistance from his pace bowling partners Mohammed Siraj and debutant Harshit Rana. Siraj accounted for two scalps, while Rana picked one. Earlier, India won the toss and opted to bat but the decision backfired. Nitish Reddy, playing his maiden Test, finished as the leading run-scorer with 41 off 59 deliveries. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood accounted for four scalps, while the remaining six were picked by Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh, and skipper Pat Cummins. Rishabh Pant also played a handy knock of 37(78) and stitched 48-run stand for the seventh wicket wicket Reddy. There was also a bit of controversy earlier in the opening session as KL Rahul was adjudged caught-behind for 26(74). Despite not having clear evidence, the third umpire asked the on-field umpire to reverse the decision, a moment that led to some ex-players questioning the quality of umpiring. Meanwhile, if we look at the top-order Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal failed to open their account, while Virat Kohli was dismissed for 5. Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar also failed to rescue India from a precarious position and were packed cheaply. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, and R Ashwin are the big names missing from the contest. Rohit is on paternity leave, while Gill took a nasty blow on his left thumb recently and is still recovering from it. Meanwhile, the management preferred Sundar over experienced Jadeja and Ashwin in the playing XI.
