Join the cricket chaos as Aussie quicks put the Indians on the back foot in the thrilling Aus vs Ind Test!
The highly anticipated clash between Australia and India kicked off at Perth Stadium, with cricket fans worldwide glued to their screens.

It was as if the Bison had charged onto the field, unleashing a wave of aggression that even the most experienced players struggled to withstand.
India, looking to seize an early initiative, found themselves facing an uphill battle against Australia’s fiery bowlers. Virat Kohli, touted as the backbone of the Indian team, faced a tough day at the office, faltering as wickets tumbled around him. The tension was palpable when Jasprit Bumrah managed to strike back, but not before Australia had already put India's chances of a big first innings score in jeopardy. As the day unfolded, the hosts held court, bowling out India for a mere 150 runs, a score that sparked debates over the team's strategy and selection, particularly with key spinners missing from their lineup.
As the second session drew to a close, the tide began to turn. Australia stumbled, ending the day with a challenging 67 for seven, but still holding onto the hope of a strong comeback. The unpredictable nature of Test cricket was on full display; one moment, India looked to be in control, and the next, they were fighting for survival against the relentless Australian assault.
