India completed a stunning 295-run win over Australia in the first Test in Perth to continue their extraordinary run in the country.
It means India have now won five and lost only two of their past nine Tests in Australia dating back to their 2018-19 tour.Australia resumed on 12-3 after a devastating new-ball spell from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj late on day three - and that soon became 17-4 when the latter had Usman Khawaja caught behind off a top-edged pull.Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh counter-attacked but both fell in quick succession in the afternoon session to Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy respectively.
India must win three of the next four Tests to guarantee their place in a third successive World Test Championship final.Media caption,This result will leave serious questions around Australia - with the gap between Tests only likely to extend the post mortem. It is a worrying trend for Pat Cummins’ side, with the top order folding on five occasions in seven Tests in the past 12 months.
