Team India equalled their lowest first innings total in Australia following a shambolic performance with the bat during the first two sessions of the match at Perth’s Optus Stadium. Big names like KL Rahul (26), Virat Kohli (5) and Rishabh Pant (37) failed to get big scores. Youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Dhruv Jurel (11), Washington Sundar (4) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (41) could not do much either. Australia bundled out India for 150 runs in 49.4 overs. Josh Hazlewood was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/29 while skipper Pat Cummins, Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc got two wickets each.
This is the lowest total by India in the first innings against Australia, tying with the 150 scored against Aussies in Sydney back in 2000….
