New Delhi, November 22, 2024.
Indian skipper Jasprit Bumrah picked up four wickets to reduce Australia to 67/7 in the first of the five-match Test series at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Friday. Mohammed Siraj too chipped in with a couple of wickets and debutant Harshit Rana scalped the price wicket of Travis Head.
Earlier Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and opted to bat first. However, Josh Hazlewood’s immaculate lines and lengths have helped Australia to bundle out India for 150. Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy chipped in with cameos for India.
Bumrah gets Pat Cummins. It was a length ball and the Australian skipper drove the ball without any foot moment and the ball took the edge straight to the keeper. Australia have now lost seven wickets in a session to put things in perspective.
