India achieved an impressive 295-run victory against Australia in the first Test in Perth, showcasing their strong performance in the series.
They dismissed Australia for 238 during the last session of day four, taking a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Australia started their innings at 12-3 after a powerful bowling display from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj on day three.
The situation worsened for Australia as they quickly fell to 17-4 when Siraj had Usman Khawaja caught behind with a top-edged pull.
After being brilliantly set up by Siraj, Steve Smith was caught behind for 17 off a straightened shot.
Travis Head scored 89 runs, and Mitchell Marsh added 47, but both were dismissed in the afternoon session by Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy respectively.
Washington Sundar took Mitchell Starc’s wicket at short leg and bowled out Nathan Lyon.
A clever slower ball from Nitish Rana deceived Alex Carey, leading to a comprehensive victory.
The second Test match will take place in Adelaide as a day-night game, beginning on December 6.
