Australia vs India first Test: ‘Embarrassing’ Australia humbled in Perth

India has decimated the Australian batting line-up, with fans teeing off on the home side after the opening day of the series.

India has roared back to take a firm grip on the first Test against Australia after a thrilling opening to the Border-Gavaskar series.

The home side appeared to be on top after rolling India for just 150 in its first innings, led by Josh Hazlewood’s 4/29.

But the tourists turned it all around with a brilliant display of Test bowling, led by skipper Jasprit Bumrah (4/17), to leave Australia reeling at 7/67 at stumps.

Billed as a reputation defining series for Pat Cummins and his team, which hasn’t beaten India on home soil in 10 years, it has started in very rocky fashion.

Australia’s top order offered virtually no resistance to the onslaught, with Steve Smith trapped LBW for a golden duck, to go with low scores for Usman Khawaja (8), debutant Nathan McSweeney (10), Marnus Labuschagne (2) and Travis Head (11).

Alex Carey (19 not out) and Mitchell Starc (6no) will return to the crease on Saturday with Australia trying to avoid its lowest ever score in a home Test against India, 83 all out at the MCG back in 1981.
