The Day 2 action of the first Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy is set to resume from the Perth Stadium on Saturday, November 23, with both India and Australia looking to take the first innings lead. The hosts will also aim to get past the score of 83, which is their lowest score against India in Test cricket.
On Day 1 of the Test, India had a shaky start as, after winning the toss and opting to bat first, they were dismissed for a below-par total of 150 in just 49.4 overs. India lost their first two wickets in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal, who were both dismissed for a duck by Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, respectively. Hazlewood then removed Virat Kohli (5) before KL Rahul (26) fell to Mitchell Starc as India were reduced to 47 for 4.
Mitchell Marsh then joined the party and claimed the wickets of Dhruv Jurel (11) and Washington Sundar (4), reducing India to just 73 for 6. Rishabh Pant (37) and Nitish Reddy (41) then added 48 runs for the sixth wicket to take India to 121. India lost their final four wickets while adding just 29 runs to their total, as the whole team was bundled out for 150.
However, India made a strong comeback with the ball as skipper Jasprit Bumrah (4 for 17), Mohammad Siraj (2 for 17), and debutant Harshit Rana (1 for 33) breathed fire. By the end of the day, Australia were left reeling at 67 for 7, with Alex Carey (19 not out) and Mitchell Starc (6 not out) still at the crease.
