India’s record-breaking victory against Australia. India was heavily criticized following a humiliating home loss to New Zealand. There were questions about their ability to compete with Australia. But putting all worries aside, Bumrah’s team won by a commanding 295 runs to start the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In the opening game of the five-match Test series, Team India demonstrated their superiority by defeating Australia by 295 runs, taking a 1-0 lead.
India’s record-breaking victory …. India easily defeated Australia after being knocked out for just 150 runs in the first innings of the match in Perth. India set a target of 534 runs after scoring 487 in their second innings, and the hosts were bowled out for just 238.
In their opening innings, host Australia was out for 104 runs. By the third day, they had already lost three wickets for 12 runs in their second innings. The hosts lost another wicket early at the start of the fourth day. Australia’s score fell to 17 for 4 in 5.3 overs. Mohammed Siraj removed Usman Khawaja on the third delivery of the sixth over after he had only managed four runs. India’s record-breaking victory …..
Travis Head, batting at number six, on the other hand, scored 89 runs off 101 balls with eight boundaries while playing with an ODI mentality. With Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh, he helped form partnerships of 62 and 82 runs for the fifth and sixth wickets, respectively. Jasprit Bumrah finally got rid of Head on the fifth ball of the 39th over. Head ended up edging a rising ball from the Indian bowler after initially getting ready for a cover drive. Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper, caught it with ease. No other batsman was able to contribute significantly after that.
The Asian squad broke a record that had stood for 46 years with their triumph. In a Test match played in Australia, it was India’s biggest victory margin ever. In the past, India won the Melbourne Cricket Ground over Australia by 222 runs in 1978.
