IND vs AUS: In the first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 played at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, India registered a victory that hardly anyone would have imagined. Under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian team defeated hosts Australia by a huge margin of 295 runs. With this win, the Indian team proved its dominance and strength in Test cricket.

The bowlers of the Indian team performed brilliantly in this match which ended within four days. The Australian batting order was given four big blows in the first innings for a score of just 31. At the same time, the situation was even worse in the second innings, where Australia lost four wickets for just 17 runs. This performance was recorded as one of the worst days in 147 years of Australian Test history.

The worst start of Australian batting

The biggest reason for Australia's defeat was the miserable failure of their top order batsmen.

First innings: Usman Khawaja, David Maxwini, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith together scored only 18 runs.

Second innings: Captain Pat Cummins added only 9 runs with these four batsmen.

In this way, Australia's top-4 batsmen could score only 29 runs in total in both innings. This performance happened for the first time in Australia's Test history, which exposed their batting weakness.

Indian bowlers' amazing performance

India's fast bowlers bowled with great line and length on the Australian pitch.

Jasprit Bumrah also showed strength in his performance along with captaincy.

Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami bowled deadly spells with the new ball, while Ravichandran Ashwin troubled the batsmen with his spin.

This amazing bowling performance helped India put pressure on the opposition team and achieve a one-sided victory.

India's second biggest win away from home

India's 295-run win in the Perth Test is the second biggest win by run margin away from home.

First biggest win: By 318 runs against West Indies in the year 2019.

This victory in Perth not only added another golden chapter in history but also showed that the Indian team now has the ability to win in every situation.

Meaning of the result

With this historic win, the Indian team not only gained a lead in the series but also gave a message to the cricket world that their preparations and skills can make them victorious in any situation. On the other hand, Australia will have to work hard to improve their strategies and batting.

This victory is a milestone for Indian cricket, which will take their confidence to new heights in the upcoming matches.
