India clinched a resounding 295-run victory against Australia in the first Test, claiming a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. The win unfolded on a thrilling fourth day of play, wherein India dismissed Australia for 238 in their second innings.

After Australia's batsmen showed some resistance, Travis Head scoring 89 and Mitchell Marsh contributing 47, the Indian bowling attack, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, overcame the hosts with ease following the tea break.

This comprehensive victory for India comes after a shaky start on day one but sets a promising precedent for the second Test in Adelaide starting December 6. Scores: India: 150 & 487/6 declared; Australia: 104 and 238 all out.
