The 5-match Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between India and Australia has begun with the first match of the series taking place at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The first day of this Test was an exciting one as India, who batted first after winning the toss, went all out to score 150 in the first innings, while Australia still maintained the lead. He also lost 7 wickets till the end of the day, scoring 67 runs in the first innings. On the first day of play, India showed great defensive prowess on the field, with KL Rahul, who was helpless with the bat, catching Mitchell Marsh at slip, leaving the entire Australian team in awe. The camp was also shocked.
Rahul dives to his left and catches the ball brilliantly at slip.
On the first day of the Perth Test, when the Australian team lost 4 wickets and the score became 31 points, Mitchell Marsh, who came to bat, played very cautiously and scored 6 points from 18 balls. Thereafter, he tried to avoid hitting the edge of his bat on the 19th over of the over, bowled by Mohammad Siraj, which bounced quickly after hitting the pitch but the ball went over The outside edge of Marsh’s bat hit the third bat. There was a slip on the second ball and Rahul saw the ball falling forward, swooped to his left and caught the ball as it fell. Everyone was surprised to see this catch. The on-field referee passed the catch to the third referee to check whether the catch was successful. Afterwards, the third referee also declared Marsh out after seeing the replay.
Rahul avenges his elimination
KL Rahul, who represented the Indian team, took charge of the opener along with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Perth Test match. Jaiswal returned to the pavilion without opening an account, while Rahul played cautiously and scored 26 runs off 74 balls. There was controversy over his dismissal, with Rahul apparently unhappy with the third umpire’s decision. In fact, the Australian team decided to take DRS on the wicket of KL Rahul and when the ball passed near his bat, the dynamometer moved and therefore the TV umpire overturned the on-field umpire’s decision and awarded a point to Rahul ball. KL Rahul looked very disappointed with the decision as his bat also hit the pads while the nails were visible.
