The first match between India and Australia in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy was played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. No one expected that the host Australian team would suffer such a humiliating defeat. In this match, the Indian team under captain Jasprit Bumrah not only ended the match in 4 days but also won by 295 runs. The outstanding performance of the Indian bowlers in this match can be seen from the fact that Australia lost four wickets in the first innings with the score at 31 and they lost their first in the second innings One wicket later, the score became 31 runs. Only 17 points. With the loss of 4 wickets, this was the first time in the 177-year history of Australian Test cricket that it experienced a day of humiliation that had never been seen before in this game.

The biggest reason for Australia’s defeat in the Perth Test was the complete lack of contribution from their top four batsmen. If we talk about the team’s first-innings batting, Usman Khawaja, McSweeney, Labuschagne and Smith managed to add only 18 runs in total. After that, in the second game, the Kangaroos’ top four batsmen Khawaja, McSweeney, Labuschagne and Cummins only scored 9 points in total. In this way, for the first time in the history of Australian Test cricket, the team’s top four batsmen scored a total of only 29 runs in two games.
India’s second-biggest away win
Not only did India win the Perth Test in four days, but they also proved all the cricket pundits wrong in predicting India’s failure before this match. Not only did India win the match by 295 runs, but it was their second-biggest win on the road. India won the 2019 Test match against West Indies by 318 runs and now ranks second in Test wins in Perth.
