The high-octane five-match series began with a bang, as Day 1 witnessed a staggering 17 wickets fall on a lively Perth pitch. After India managed a modest 150 in their first innings, Bumrah spearheaded a relentless Indian bowling attack that reduced Australia to 67 for seven by stumps. His sensational four-wicket haul tore through Australia’s top order, delivering one of the most dominant displays by an Indian pacer on Australian soil in recent memory.

Day 2 began in similar fashion, with Bumrah wasting no time in making an impact. On his very first delivery, he dismissed Alex Carey, Australia’s wicketkeeper-batter, for 21 runs. Coming around the wicket to the left-hander, Bumrah bowled a short-of-a-length delivery that bounced sharply and moved away off the seam.

Alex Carey, lured into playing at it, edged the ball straight to Rishabh Pant, who completed a clean catch behind the stumps. The dismissal not only dismantled Australia’s resistance but also secured Bumrah’s 11th five-wicket haul in Test cricket—a testament to his consistency and skill. With arms raised and a confident smile, Bumrah celebrated his milestone, soaking in the applause of teammates and fans. His masterful display with the ball has left the Australian camp in shambles while bolstering India’s chances in the opening Test.
