Delhi: The first day of the first Test being played between India and Australia in Perth was exciting. Batting first, the Indian team was limited to 150 runs. However, Australia's condition worsened in response. By the end of the day's play, 7 wickets of the Kangaroo team had fallen for only 67 runs. Alex Carey (19) and Mitchell Starc (6) are present at the crease.

Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and decided to bat first, but this decision did not work. Nitish Reddy scored the maximum 41 runs, while no other batsman could play a big innings. Josh Hazlewood bowled brilliantly for Australia and took 4 wickets.

In response, Indian bowlers wreaked havoc. Jasprit Bumrah bowled lethally and took 4 wickets, while Mohammad Siraj took 2 wickets. At present Australia is behind by 83 runs in the first innings.

At the same time, Indian opener KL Rahul completed 3,000 runs in his Test career by scoring 26 runs in this match. He has become the 26th batsman from India to achieve this feat.

On the other hand, Australian bowler Mitchell Starc has become the 8th player to take 50 Test wickets against India. He took 2 wickets for 14 runs in the first innings.

Apart from this, Steve Smith was out on a golden duck in this match. Jasprit Bumrah sent him to the pavilion on the very first ball.

This match is also special because both the teams are being captained by fast bowlers. Kapil Dev last captained India for Australia in 1985-86.
