Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024: The India vs Australia Test series has started off on an exciting note. The proceedings of the match might have kept Indian and Australian fans on the edge of their seats, but neutral cricket fans might have loved every minute of the game with seventeen wickets falling during the day and across three action-packed sessions. On the opening day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India were bundled out for 150 odd runs, but they have registered a remarkable comeback.

At the end of Day 1 of the Optus Test, Australia have managed to get only 67 runs on the board at the loss of 7 wickets. In reply to India’s 150, Australia still trail by 83 runs with their lower order batting.

Apart from everything else that has been going around, the Perth Test match has been grabbing eyeballs due to KL Rahul’s controversial dismissals.
