In a thrilling opening to the first test in Perth, Australia's cricket team found themselves in a tough spot, being dismissed for a mere 104 runs. The standout performer was Jasprit Bumrah, stepping in as captain for India, who clinched astonishing bowling figures of 5-30.

India, having posted a modest 150 in their first innings, benefitted significantly from Bumrah's efforts, carving out a crucial 46-run lead over the hosts. His delivery precision left Australian batsmen vulnerable, as they struggled to establish a foothold.

Despite the hosts' batting woes, Mitchell Starc managed to score 26, leading the effort for Australia. With the lead secured, India will look to press their advantage in the coming days of the test series.
