A 46 runs lead may not seem a massive score on the board but on a difficult pitch like that of the Optus in Perth, it could turn out to be invaluable. Though the Indians were disappointed with their batting, they knew that the game is not over for them yet. The Fiery pace bowling attack comprising 4 pacers and 1 spinner summed up the kangaroos for 104 runs
The skipper Jasprit Bumrah being the highest wicket taker with a fifer and debutante Harshit Rana taking 3 wicket including that of the nemesis for the Indian Team, Travis Head proved out to be a tremendous test bowling attack.
The hosts assuming the struggling and inexperienced bowling lineup for the Indians turned out to be a nightmare for them creating history as Australia registererd their lowest score against India at home in last 43 years in test cricket. Australia’s lowest total at home against came in 1981 at Melbourne where India bowled the team out for 83 with Kapil Dev picking up a fifer.
