Jasprit Bumrah scripts India's rebound against Australia in Perth

Perth/IBNS: India's stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah picked four wickets to orchestrate his team's strong comeback after a poor show with bat against Australia on the first day of the inaugural Test in the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Perth on Friday.

After putting up a paltry 150 on board, the Indian bowlers launched a counterattack on the Australians, who finished at 67/7 at stumps.

In multiple fiery spells, Bumrah damaged the backbone of the Australian batting picking four including the one of star batter Steve Smith conceding only 17 runs in 10 overs.

With two scalps for 17 and one wicket for 33, Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana too respectively backed their skipper in giving no room to Australia in the final session of the day's play.

Alex Carey [19 from 28 balls] and Mitchell Starc [6 from 14 balls] will resume the batting on Saturday while the visitors will aim to quickly wrap up, eyeing some lead over the hosts.

Despite the resistance from Nitish Reddy and Rishabh Pant, Australia bowled out India for just 150 just before tea earlier in the day.

After India were reduced to 73/6 following Washington Sundar's dismissal, Pant and Reddy stitched a 48-run partnership, giving India a chance to touch the 200-run mark.

Pant, who played some of his trademark unconventional shots, scored 37 off 78 balls while Reddy was the last man to be dismissed for 41 from 59 balls.

Josh Hazlewood picked four wickets including the important one of Virat Kohli while Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh and skipper Pat Cummins shared two wickets each.

India's stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah, who is leading the injury-ridden side in absence of Rohit Sharma, won the toss and handed over the red ball to the hosts this morning.
