It was a scintillating day of Test match cricket at the Optus stadium in Perth, as India came back from the brink to have Australia tottering at 67 for 7 at stumps on Day 1.
Stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah helped the visitors wrest back control with a four-wicket haul after India was bundled out for 150.
Exploiting the seam-friendly conditions, Bumrah registered 4-17 in the final session, leaving the hosts rattled.
From former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth to commentator Harsha Bhogle to the aam Indian, Bumrah was hailed for his top-class showing.
