It was a day when the limelight was on the Indian pacers, as they got the chance to get used to the Aussie conditions ahead of their first Test at Optus Stadium in Perth. With the surface expected to offer pace and bouncer, Bumrah and Siraj, the sure-shot starters in India's XI for the opening Test, hit the tight line and troubled the Indian batters. The conditions were challenging for the batters, and Bumrah tested Abhimanyu Easwaran and Devdutt Padikkal's temperament with the new ball. Siraj also bowled with full throttle to regain some confidence after an underwhelming home Test season. The BCCI posted a video on their social media account of the match simulation where Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir kept a close eye on the players.
