Border-Gavaskar Trophy: India Humiliated Australia by 295 runs in the Opening Test match

The Men in Blue thrashed Australia by 295 runs at the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy Opening Test match held  in Perth.

The Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah along with Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohd Siraj, and Nitish Reddy all gave excellent performances, and Team India was spot on from the first word “Go.” They all deserve special recognition for their exceptional work.

The nicest thing about this win and the Indian team’s bench strength is that, despite the absence of Ravi Ashwin, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja from the first test match, the Men in Blue were still able to put on a fantastic display against the Kangaroos.

Jasprit Bumrah joins Virat Kohli by achieving the No. 1 ranking across all formats.

The return of regular captain Rohit Sharma will improve team flexibility, which will be the best thing for the Men in Blue.

The next game, a pink ball test match, will take place in Adelaide from December 6–10, 2024.

In the most recent Pink Ball Test match, India struggled and was dismissed with a pitiful 36-run score.

In terms of the game’s duration, India won the toss and chose to bat first. Thanks to outstanding bowling from Bumrah and company, India only managed to reach 150 runs, while Australia bowled out on 104 runs, giving them a 46-run lead.

With a spectacular century from Virat Kohli and a stunning century from Yashasvi Jaiswal, the Indian batsmen produced amazing knocks in the second innings.

The Men in Blue easily won this match by 295 runs, while the Kangaroos bundled out on 238 runs as Australia was chasing a pitiful 500-run total.

India’s confidence is undoubtedly boosted by their two most recent series victories under Australia, which is a difficult accomplishment to understand.

Given that they lost three match series to the Kiwis, returning from Australia and defeating them is no small accomplishment, thus this win would give them a significant boost.

As a standout player for India, Bumrah deserves recognition for his leadership abilities.

In order to further solidify the series, India would like to prolong their winning streak in the upcoming matches.
