Team India was all out on the score of just 150 in the first innings. Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy played the highest innings of 41 runs. Disgraceful top-order performance In the Perth Test, India lost the first wicket in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the third over itself. Yashasvi was out on a duck against Mitchell Starc after playing 8 balls. After this, Josh Hazlewood showed Devdutt Padikkal a duck and Virat Kohli (5) the way to the pavilion. AUS vs IND: KL Rahul out in controversial fashion Opener KL Rahul was heading towards a good innings but lost the wicket for 26 runs in a controversial manner by the third umpire in the 23rd over. Mitchell Starc bowled a length ball in the second ball of the over and Rahul tried to defend the ball. The onfield umpire declared it not out and then Pat Cummins took the review. Replays revealed that Hawkeye acted as soon as the ball came near the bat and the third umpire declared Rahul out. But at the time the spike was seen, the bat had also hit the pad, due to which the umpire’s decision is being criticized. Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy played valuable innings Rishabh Pant played an inning of 37 runs in 78 balls with the help of 3 fours and a six. Whereas, debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy played the highest innings for the team of 41 runs in 59 balls with the help of 6 fours and one six. Both the batsmen became victims of Australian captain Pat Cummins.

“He has taken 900 wickets in Test matches” – Sunil Gavaskar angry at Bumrah after Jadeja and Ashwin were dropped.
Bumrah and Ashwin are not playing in Perth Test. Jasprit Bumrah & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first Test match between India and Australia is being played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is very angry after seeing the playing XI with which Team India captain has entered in the first match of the series. Washington Sundar has been included as a spin all-rounder in the playing XI for the first Test, while both senior and experienced Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin have been dropped. After seeing this decision of the team management, Sunil Gavaskar scolded head coach Gautam Gambhir and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah for this decision on live TV. Sunil Gavaskar took Jasprit Bumrah’s class Gavaskar said, ‘It was really surprising that R Ashwin and Jadeja did not play, they have taken 900 wickets in Test matches. He is not a bowler who can play only in Indian or subcontinental conditions. He is a very clever bowler, he is a very experienced bowler. Even if they don’t get you wickets, they will be able to slow down the scoring rate because of the cleverness with which they bowl. Gavaskar further said, ‘I felt that there are very long boundaries on these Australian wickets, so in such a situation you can include both of them in the playing XI. But this is a new management and new thinking. He has gone with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is a promising player. There is no fault of his in this, but my only question is, is he completely prepared for Test cricket? Former legend, ‘He has not played many first class matches and so clearly, I think, this selection of Nitish is based on expectations and nothing less than that. Like all Indian cricket followers, I hope it is successful. The Indian team won the toss and batted first and the entire team was all out after scoring 150 runs.
