On the field, Bumrah’s opening spell was a masterclass in pace and precision. After India struggled to 150 in challenging conditions, Bumrah turned the tide with a scintillating display of fast bowling. He scalped four wickets for just 17 runs, dismantling Australia’s top order and leaving the hosts reeling at 67/7 by stumps. Bumrah’s deliveries swung both ways, and his ability to maintain relentless accuracy troubled even the most experienced Australian batters.

The Indian pacer received solid support from Mohammed Siraj, who claimed two wickets for 17 runs, and debutant Harshit Rana, who grabbed his maiden Test wicket. The trio exploited the seam-friendly conditions perfectly, making the most of every opportunity and keeping Australia on the back foot throughout the day.
Amid the intense cricketing action, Sanjana Ganesan’s playful post brought a moment of levity, endearing her to fans and adding a personal touch to the day’s narrative. Cricket enthusiasts flooded social media with reactions, praising not only Bumrah’s heroics but also his wife’s witty sense of humour.

Despite India’s batting collapse—where debutant Nitish Reddy’s 41 and Rishabh Pant’s gritty 37 provided the only resistance—Bumrah ensured the team ended the day on a high. His bowling brilliance overshadowed the earlier struggles, setting the stage for what promises to be an enthralling contest. As the match progresses, both teams will aim to wrestle control, but for now, Bumrah’s devastating spell and his wife’s playful praise remain the highlight of a memorable opening day in Perth.
