Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal bury Australian hopes in Perth

The demons of the Perth track seemed to vanish for India but returned to haunt Australia in the opening Test. After a chaotic Day 1 that saw 17 wickets fall, it seemed inevitable that the Border-Gavaskar series opener might not even last three days. However, India defied expectations, piling on a colossal 487/6 declared and setting an imposing 534-run target for the hosts on Day 3.

After setting an enormous target, India had 27 minutes to unleash their bowlers on Australia, and Jasprit Bumrah made an immediate impact, breathing fire and tearing through the Australian top order.

At stumps, Australia were reeling at 12/3, staring at a monumental task to save the game. India now look poised to secure a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
