India vs Australia: India has made a great start to the five-match Test series between India and Australia. In this way, India is leading 1-0 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. India won this match by 295 runs on the fourth day itself. Talking about the heroes of the Indian team’s victory, although Jasprit Bumrah and Yashasvi Jaiswal have contributed the most in this, there are three more players without whom it would not have been easy to win this test. The absence of players like Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Shubman Gill makes this Test victory even more special.
Jasprit Bumrah
Starting with Captain Bumrah because when Team India was out for 150 runs, no one expected that Team India would win this test. Bumrah took five wickets for around 30 runs in 18 overs in the first innings. Bumrah took five wickets for around 30 runs in 18 overs in the first innings. One thing that was very special about Bumrah was his captaincy on the field. For this, Bumrah also got the full support of former captain Virat Kohli, but it is also important to mention the way he changed the bowling and put constant pressure on Australia. In the second innings too, Bumrah put Australia under huge pressure in the beginning and also took the wicket of dangerous looking Travis Head.
Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who came to play a Test series in Australia for the first time, may not have had a good start, but he compensated for the entire defeat of the first innings in the second innings. Yashasvi was out without opening the account in the first innings and played a strong inning of 161 runs in the second innings. On the basis of his innings, India completely pushed Australia on the backfoot.
KL Rahul
KL Rahul’s contribution should not be forgotten at all. In the first innings of the Perth Test, when wickets were falling from one side, Rahul played 74 balls and played an important inning of 26 runs. Rahul was unfortunate to get out otherwise he would have scored fifty or less in the first innings but he scored a half-century in the second innings and also made a partnership of 201 runs for the first wicket with Yashaswini. KL contributed 77 runs on 176 balls.
Virat Kohli
There is no need to tell anyone what it is like for Virat Kohli to play in Australia. Virat’s records in Australia show how much he enjoys playing there. Virat, who was out for five runs in the first innings, scored a century in the second innings and scored the 30th Test century of his career. With Virat’s batting, India completely eliminated Australia from the match.
Nitish Kumar Reddy
Nitish Kumar Reddy, playing his first Test match for Team India, impressed with his batting in both the innings and also took wickets when he got a chance to bowl in the second innings. Nitish was the best scorer for India in the first innings and his innings of 41 runs also made a big difference in the match. Nitish scored 41 runs in 59 balls and hit one six along with six fours. After this, in the second innings he scored unbeaten 38 runs on 27 balls while while bowling, he took the wicket of Mitchell Marsh.
