After arriving in Australia, the Indian cricket team has already launched its first test against the opposing team at home. It was expected that India would be under pressure if Australia played at home, but the opposite seems to have happened. India struggled in the batting department but in the bowling department, India stepped up and showed their skills. Australia has not seen this day at home for eight years and it must be seen today in front of India. In some ways, this is a shameful day for Australia.

Jasprit Bumrah decides to bat first

India captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss today and decided to bat first. When India were eliminated by a narrow margin, Bumrah’s decision-making seemed to go wrong. But when the Indians pitched, Bumrah seemed to be right. India could only score 150 runs while Australia lost 5 wickets before scoring 40 runs. Even after this, Australia’s wickets continued to fall.

Australia loses 5 wickets before 40 runs

If we talk about statistics, this is the second time this has happened to Australia since 1980 when the team played a Test match at home and the first 5 wickets were gone before scoring 40 runs. Earlier in 2018, South Africa did the same thing. In that game, the Australian team completely surrendered in front of the South African team. In the subsequent match in Hobart, Australia lost just 5 wickets and scored just 17 runs. Before India, Australia had lost 5 wickets in 38 matches. Meanwhile, their sixth wicket also disappeared when the team reached 50 runs.

Bumrah attacks from the start

When India’s bowling began, Jasprit Bumrah took the lead. Bumrah played a major role in undermining Australia’s top order. He took three wickets in a row. It also included sending Steve Smith to the pavilion on a golden duck. Mohammad Siraj couldn’t bowl well from the other end, so the captain handed the bowling to Harshit Rana. He dismissed Travis Head and brought a huge success to the Indian team. Thereafter, when Siraj came on again in the second session, he bagged two wickets by grabbing the right cues and put Australia on the back foot.
