Jasprit Bumrah led team India were at their best during the 1st Test match against Australia at Perth as they defeated the Kangaroos on their home turf by 296 runs. After being bowled out for 150 runs in the first innings, Team India made a remarkable comeback in the match and restricted the Aussie on 104 to take a 46 run lead in the first innings. Heroics by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli in the 2nd innings ensured that India posted a total of 487 runs that effectively ensured that the match could only go in one direction.
India’s chances of qualifying for WTC Final:
In the recent times, Border Gavaskar Trophy has garnered the reputation of being one of the most highly contested bilateral series going around, seconly only to perhaps Ashes. However, this BGT series has gained even more prominense given that India’s place in the WTC Final rests on the results of the ongoing tournament.
After facing a 3-0 drubbing by New Zealand at home, Team India needed to win at least 4 matches in order to secure a place in the finals of World Test Championship. With the victory in Perth Test, India now need to win 3 more matches in Australia to reach the WTC Final. If they don’t win at least 3 matches, then the Indian team would have to wait on the results of other teams for their qualification.
