BGT 2024-25: Bumrah Picks 4-17 As Australia Trail India By 83 Runs In 17-wicket Day
After Josh Hazlewood: A red-hot India captain Jasprit Bumrah picked four wickets to scythe through the Australia batting line-up as the hosts’ reached 67/7 in 27 overs and trail visitors by 83 runs at stumps on day one of first Test at the Perth Stadium on Friday.
After Josh Hazlewood’s 4-29 bowled out India for 150, Bumrah made merry on a spicy Perth pitch by bowling at the absolute peak of his prowess – mixing accuracy and pace with deadly precision - to leave 31,302 spectators in the stadium spellbound through his spell of 4-17.
He was well supported by Mohammed Siraj taking 2-17 while Harshit Rana got a wicket on debut as India did well in bowling on stump to stump lines and good lengths. India’s counter-attack with the ball meant it marked a day of Test cricket where 17 wickets fell, all to fast bowlers. The last such instance of these number of wickets falling on day one of a Test match in Australia happened in January 1952.
