emirates7 - India entered the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against a strong Australian side with several challenges, including doubts about Virat Kohli's form, KL Rahul's inconsistency, Rohit Sharma’s absence, and an overworked Jasprit Bumrah. Despite these concerns, Bumrah’s team delivered a dominant performance, defeating Australia by a commanding 295 runs in Perth, completing the match in just four days.

This convincing win gave India a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, following their disappointing 0-3 loss to New Zealand in their previous home Test series. The second Test between India and Australia is set to begin in Adelaide on December 6.
