India vs Australia Highlights 1st Test, Day 1: India have turned the tables on Australia, and how? After being bowled out for 150 inside the first two sessions, Indian quicks, led by their captain Jasprit Bumrah and fellow pacers Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj ran through the Australian top and middle order. Bumrah's 4/17, Rana's 1/33 and Siraj's 2/17 reduced Australia to 67/7 at stumps, behind India by 83 runs....Read More
Bumrah, after inflicting early damage on Australia with a three-wicket-burst, then picked up his fourth. In his second spell, Bumrah dismissed his Australian counterpart Pat Cummins to leave the hosts reeling at 7/59. Earlier, Siraj dismissed Mitchell Marsh, and then Marnus Labuschagne to trim Australia down. Rana had taken his maiden Test wicket a few overs before that, dismissing the dangerous Travis Head. In his first spell, Bumrah was in full flow in Perth. Nathan McSweeney scored 10, Usman Khawaja got to 8, and Steve Smith was dismissed for a golden duck as India were all over Australia after a below-par total.
The first wicket belonged to Virat Kohli as much as it did to Bumrah. Kohli convinced his skipper to take the DRS. India could have had two in three balls, but a dropped catch by Kohli at second slip allowed Marnus Labuschagne a lifeline. Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy's 41 off 59 balls and his seventh wicket stand with Rishabh Pant dragged a tottering Indian innings to 150 all out on Day 1 of the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. Reddy and Pant put up a partnership 48 runs off 85 balls, with the pair coming together when the score was 73/6.
India finished the first session tottering on 51/4 as Australia pacers Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins ruled the roost. They went on to lose two more wickets to Mitchell Marsh early in the second session. Pant and Reddy then not only held fort but also managed to get a few boundaries going to give India a semblance of momentum but it didn't last too long.
KL Rahul earlier kept India ticking for much of the first session as he saw wickets fall at the other end. However, his innings came to an end in rather controversial circumstances towards the end of the first session. The last man to fall for the visitors before Rahul was Virat Kohli, edging to first slip after scoring just five runs and that has brought in Rishabh Pant. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal earlier fell for ducks to Mitchell Starc. Padikkal fell for a 23-ball duck while Jaiswal fell to Starc off the first ball of the pacer's second over of the day. Rahul opened the batting with Jaiswal and he was joined by Padikkal after the latter fell. Padikkal was filling in for the injured Shubman Gill at No.3.
India's stand-in captain Bumrah won the toss and chose to bat first. The visitors have left out Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja and chosen to go with Washington Sundar as their lone spinner while handing debuts to pacer Harshit Rana and fast-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. Ashwin handed Rana his maiden cap while Virat Kohli did the same for Reddy.
Even before 2024 began, the five-Test series between India and Australia had become the biggest talking point in Indian cricket. This is despite the T20 World Cup being a major highlight of the year. Perhaps it was the long-lasting euphoria of India's once-in-a-lifetime series win in Australia or that India couldn't wait to get back at the Aussies for causing them two major heartbreaks in 2023. Who can forget November 19? Heck, we just completed one year of the date.
However, plenty of water has flown under the bridge. Rahul Dravid is done with his time as India coach and replaced by Gautam Gambhir, who's had a bit of a tumultuous start to his tenure. To face Australia when he's in a bit of a firing line is never ideal, but a glass half empty is also half full. Gambhir would want to view the five-Test series against Australia, the first of which begins today at Perth's Optus Stadium.
Perth, a venue that has historically proven to be a nightmare for batters with its famous bounce and pace, has also claimed India as one of its victims. 1992, 2012, and 2018 will reopen old wounds. But if India have endured their share of disappointments in Perth, they have some wonderful memories to look back upon from the 2008 tour, when after going down in Sydney in one of the most scandalous and controversial Test matches of all time, Anil Kumble and Irfan Pathan spun and swung India to a memorable win.
But this is not 2008. India are a far more competitive team than the one that tamed the mighty Aussies at the menacing Perth. It's only due to their recent 0-3 whitewash to New Zealand at home that the world has turned against them. Like the last time, Aussies are not giving the Indians a chance. They have declared Australia the outright winners, with some bold and audacious 3-1, 4-1 predictions. But if there's one thing the opposition should know about India, it is that they are at their most dangerous when cornered.
So what if captain Rohit Sharma is not around? Vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will be eager to outperform his counterpart Pat Cummins in this rare showdown of fast-bowling captains. Bumrah has captained India in just one Test match previously – the the result wasn't one fans would want to remember – but India's pace spearhead has a sharp mind, and he's gone on record to say that he can take care of his body better when he's leading. But despite all the credentials that Bumrah possesses, he will feel the pressure… and then some.
Bumrah isn't the only one facing the heat. The one and only once-indestructible Virat Kohli finds himself in the middle of no man's land. Runs are hard to come by, and his recent dismissals are ringing major alarm bells. At 36, is Kohli on the downhill? Not a single cricketer will tell you that, and rightly so. It's no secret that Kohli is no longer the force he once was, but still, rule him out at your own peril. He is everywhere in Australian media – from billboards to newspapers to TV screens – such is the hype around him. From first coming Down Under as a brash, arrogant 24-year-old to cementing himself as a legend, Kohli's rise has been instrumental. But currently stuck in a batting low, there is no better place than Australia to rekindle the hunger that made him a run monster in the first place.
Plenty has been made of India's team combination for the Perth Test. Well, since it's Perth, four pacers should be a no-brainer. Bumrah and Shami are sure-shots, but the names of Harshit Rana all-rounder Nitish Reddy have cropped up for the other two quicks. Akash Deep hasn’t done badly either, so that number could also go up to five. Between Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, only one will play. As for the batting, KL Rahul is set to open, and that Devdutt Padikkal has been added to the squad, could only mean he would bat at No. 3.
From the Australian camp, if there's one cricketer who's made as much news, if not more, than David Warner, it’s Nathan McSweeney. Touted as one of the next big things in Australian cricket, he and Usman Khawaja would be responsible for seeing off the new ball. Australia's failed experiment with Steve Smith will see him return to No. 4, where he's tormented India the most. Despite the presence of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Cummins, it' Nathan Lyon who could very well turn out to be the decisive factor in the match. Australia last won a Test series against India back in 2014/15 and Cummins, who hasn't put a foot wrong, would like add the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to his already impressive list of achievements.
Here are some key points from the India vs Australia 1st Test:

- Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and India chose to bat first.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: WHAT A DAY!
IND vs AUS Live Score: Indeed! 17 wickets fall on Day 1 of the Test itself. If you thought India were forced to play catch-up after getting bowled out for 150, you had another thing coming. Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, and the rest did brilliantly to cut open India's batting, but the way Jasprit Bumrah and his fellow quicks have responded has been outstanding. Nothing much from the batters but had it not been for Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy's 37 and 41, things would have looked a lot worse for India. Nonetheless, it's been a day that has belonged to fast bowlers and tomorrow is expected to be no better. Join us Saturday morning for what promises to be another riveting and most probably the penultimate day of the Test match. CIAO!
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: And that’s that! Bumrah closes proceedings on Day 1
IND vs AUS Live Score: Stumps on Day 1! Jasprit Bumrah almost picks up another one, foxing Mitchell Marsh with a slower one. Concedes five runs to wrap the proceedings up on the opening day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia finish on 67/7, trailing India by 83 runs. And what an extraordinary day it has been.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Edged and Taken!
IND vs AUS Live Score: Captain gets captain! Fourth wicket for Jasprit Bumrah as Pat Cummins edges to Rishabh Pant. Not sure why Cummins is shaking his head though. Nothing much he could have done. Or could he? Perhaps leaving the ball would have been ideal. Then again, hindsight never works, does it? Australia 7 for 59.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Back-to-back fours for Alex Carey
IND vs AUS Live Score: He has moved quickly to 17 off 25 balls with three boundaries, two of them coming off the last couple of balls. First, a glance through the leg side and then a spectacular uppercut. On both occasions, Harshit has strayed away from his ideal line and length and has to play the price. Australia now trail by less than 100. India wouldn’t want that to be trimmed down to 50, for sure.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Shades of Kohli the captain
IND vs AUS Live Score: He may have failed with the bat, but on the field, Virat Kohli is exuding captaincy vibes. He is constantly upping the spirits of his bowlers, and even walked up to the umpires twice. Just as Siraj completed his last over, he told him 'Yehi daal. Ek aur ball' (Bowl in this exact area, once more). And of course, earlier, he was the one who was sure that McSweeney was out. Still surprised that India are showing the same spark as they did six years ago?
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: OUT! One more
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Siraj concedes a run after 4 overs
IND vs AUS Live Score: And four of them… off the bat of Alex Carey. While Bumrah and Rana have grabbed most of the attention, Siraj has quietly gone about his business, bowling four maidens in a row. With 20 overs left in the day with the half an hour extension coming up shortly, India can smell blood here. With five down, they'd want to pick up at least two more wickets, if not more, one of them hoping to be of Labuschagne, who is grinding it out for 2 off 51 balls.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Alright then! Can Carey play a Pant-like innings for Australia here?
IND vs AUS Live Score: India lost their fifth wicket for 59, Australia have reached that stage with 21 fewer runs. What allowed India to recover from 59/5 to put 150 runs was Rishabh Pant's counter-attacking innings. Aaron Finch recently said that a lot will depend on how the wicketkeepers – Pant and Alex Carey – bat. Pant did his bit. Can Carey do the same? India are going all out. Here comes Jasprit Bumrah for his second spell.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Siraj gets Marsh, KL Rahul takes the catch and Siraj gets his first.
IND vs AUS Live Score: One more down, India would be hoping as Marsh edges to KL Rahul, who at third slip takes the catch, but since it’s not quite clear, the third umpire has referred the decision upstairs. Soft signal is out, so it's got to take a lot to turn it around. No such worries for India though, as the replay suggests Rahul had his palm underneath the ball in control. This could be the fifth Australian wicket to go down. AND IT DOES as OUT appears on the big screen. Marsh gone for 6 off 19 and Australia are 38/5
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Wait! Obstruction, is it?
IND vs AUS Live Score: Marnus Labuschagne defends Harshit Rana with a straight bat and as the ball rolls back, the India pacer grabs it and throws it back. Marnus uses his bat to stop the ball from hitting his body, but the moment he does it, Rana goes up in a half-hearted appeal. He perhaps felt there for a moment that Marnus was obstructing the field but soon realised that the batter was inside his crease. He is still batting on 1 after facing 39 balls as we speak.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Bumrah's remarkable spell
IND vs AUS Live Score: There's only one Jasprit Bumrah! If there was one man who could bring India back into this Test match, it was him. And boy, what a response it has been from him. Six overs, two maidens, three wickets for nine runs. Incredible stuff. More importantly, his infectious energy and electricity have rubbed off brilliantly on his fellow Indian pacers, with Harshit Rana looking equally menacing. Change of ends for Mohammed Siraj, who is in search of his first wicket.
Australia 37/4 in 16 overs.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: CRUNCHED for FOUR!
IND vs AUS Live Score: Mitchell Marsh times the ball exquisitely as Australia get a much-needed boundary. Six fours in the innings thus far, which is not bad considering the fire and intensity with which the Indians are bowling. Down the wicket and there wasn't much the fielder could do to stop that one. Rana delivers a jaffa, the next ball, to keep Marsh alive and alert. Australia go to 37/4, and with that, drinks have been called for.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Cheers for Labuschagne
IND vs AUS Live Score: The Perth Stadium gives a round of applause to Marnus Labuschagne, who is finally off the mark after 24 balls. Brings back memories of Rahul Dravid, who at WACA – not too far from here – went without scoring a run for 40 balls during the 2007-08 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Australians need such doggedness to continue of they are to put up a fight with the bat.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: TIMBER! Harshit Rana castles Travis Head
IND vs AUS Live Score: BOOM! Round the wickets and the stumps go rattling. And it's the danger man Travis Head who has to go back. India have Australia on the mat at 31/4. This is a strong comeback from India with the ball after they looked clueless with the bat. But that's what Perth does to you. Australia at 31/4, are in a worse situation than India. With the pitch expected to behave similarly, this one may go down to the wires although there's still plenty of time left.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Not even 8 hours and already 13 wickets down!
IND vs AUS Live Score: Is this heading towards a Day 4? Well, looks unlikely at this stage. We all wondered if the 1st Test and the IPL auctions may collide, but going by the fact that 13 wickets have already fallen, it would take a remarkable effort with the bat by one of the two things to prevent a Day 3 finish to this Test match. There are still plenty of overs left, which means that play will surely be extended by half an hour. India would want to settle for no less than two wickets.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Head slashes for FOUR… and FOUR
IND vs AUS Live Score: After a maiden first over in Test cricket, Harshit Rana gives Travis Head just a little room but it's enough for him to cash in. Cuts the ball for a boundary and gets off the mark. That's how he plays. India have seen enough of Travis Head in the last three ICC matches, they don't want any more of it. And just as we speak, Rana produces another short and wide ball which Head smashes for FOUR.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: OUCH! Labuschagne needs a hot shower after today
IND vs AUS Live Score: Twice in two overs has Marnus Labuschagne copped a couple of heavy blows to his body. If in the previous over, it was the big man, the debutant Harshit Rana, this time it's Bumrah. Challenging conditions for batting here. Padikkal went 23 balls for 0; Labuschagne has already faced 20… without opening his account. IT'S THAT TOUGH! Imagine if India had Mohammed Shami in there too.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Steve Smith OUT for DUCK! Bumrah unstoppable
IND vs AUS Live Score: See it to believe it folks. Jasprit Bumrah is all over the Australian top order. First Khawaja, then Steve Smith out LBW for a golden duck. Bumrah misses the hat-trick as Travis Head barely survives but the best bowler in in full flow.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Out! Bumrah's ploy has worked
IND vs AUS Live Score: Edged and Kohli grabs it safely this time at second slip. We told you it might just work and Bumrah has responded. The ball angled in nicely and Khawaja's defence just not strong enough. Flies off the outside edge and Kohli makes no mistake. Australia lose their 2nd wicket for 19.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Bumrah coming round the wicket
IND vs AUS Live Score: The ball is still new and sensing the opportunity, Bumrah has made a wide call to go round the wicket to Usman Khawaja. Last over, Khawaja pulled Siraj for a boundary – just some slight room provided – but the Indian captain now wants to close it down and cramp him for room. Not a bad call by any stretch of the imagination. Khawaja and Marnus still look a little unsettled and in it lies India's chance to go for the jugular.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Bumrah doing to AUS what Starc, Hazlewood did to India
IND vs AUS Live Score: There hasn't been a run scored in 17 balls as it's all thanks to the relentless pressure India have put on the Aussie batters, led by that man Bumrah. He is doing to them what the Aussie new-ball bowlers did to the Indians a couple of hours ago. Hitting the right lengths, getting the ball and the batters to dance around and creating chances. Labuschagne testes early. He's getting rapped on the pads and beaten outside off, but luckily for Australia, he has protected his wicket thus far.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: DROPPED!
IND vs AUS Live Score: Oh no! Virat Kohli, what have you done? Two balls after he got his DRS instincts right, Kohli drops a sitter. The ball takes Marnus Labuschagne's bat's outside edge and seemed to nestle into Kohli's hands nicely, but as the fielders went up in a bit of a premature celebration, Kohli slipped up and lost control. Immediately he says no and what a miss this is. Could have had Austrlia two down. Bumrah looks up towards the heavens.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: GONE! What a call from Virat Kohli
IND vs AUS Live Score: OUT! India get one early and it's Jasprit Bumrah with the wicket of Nathan McSweeney. As the ball rapped the batter on the pads, there was some confusion with folks behind the wicket hearing two sounds. Rishabh Pant wasn't convinced, Bumrah was in two minds. But Kohli saw and sensed something no one else did. "Ley ley," he says, meaning "TAKE IT", and boy what a call it turned out to be.
Australia 14/1 in 2.3 overs.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: FOUR! Runs gifted
IND vs AUS Live Score: Ah! Not ideal for India. Siraj squares up McSweeney with an outside edge but as the ball lands short of the fielders in the slips, that it was a misfield has caused Siraj some frustration. He comes back with a cracker as the ball hits Sweeney on the pads offering no shot, but hey, it's Perth. One in 10 LBWs would be given out. Huge appeal but Siraj is calmed down by his teammates.
Australia 13/0 after 2 overs vs India.
India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: The players walk out for the Australian first innings
IND vs AUS Live Score: All right then, what can India get up to here. Usman Khawaja is on strike with debutant Nathan McSweeney at the other end. Captain Jasprit Bumrah has the shiny new red cherry in his hands. How India could use a few early wickets from him.
