The Indian cricket team embarked on their Australia tour amidst scepticism following a 0-3 series loss to New Zealand at home. With several key players out of form, including Virat Kohli, and the team under scrutiny, expectations were muted for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, the Indian squad emphatically silenced critics, securing a resounding 295-run victory over Australia in the first Test at Perth’s Optus Stadium on Day 4, November 25.

Contributions from Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and debutant Harshit Rana further solidified India’s historic win. This triumph was particularly special as it came in the absence of senior players Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, and R. Ashwin.

The victory not only marked a dominant start to the five-match series but also underscored India’s quest for an unprecedented hat-trick of Test series wins Down Under. The Perth win ranks as India’s second-largest margin of victory by runs in away Tests, second only to their 318-run triumph over the West Indies in North Sound in 2019.

With this remarkable win, India has sent a strong message, dispelling doubts and reinforcing their status as a formidable force in Test cricket, even under challenging circumstances. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is now poised for an electrifying contest.
