Jaiswal's best Test innings so far: Jasprit Bumrah

Perth: Centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, along with Jasprit Bumrah's stellar bowling, powered India to a 295-run win over Australia in the first Test.

Chasing 534, Australia crumbled for 238 despite Travis Head's 89. Bumrah and Siraj claimed three wickets each, while Washington Sundar took two, securing India's dominant victory in the five-match series opener.

Expressing happiness over the victory, Jasprit Bumrah, India captain and Player of the Match, said, “We were put under pressure in the first innings, but the way we responded was great. I played here in 2018 - I remember the wicket started soft. This one was less spicy, we were really well prepared. I told everyone to keep faith in your ability. Jaiswal's best Test innings so far, he left the ball well, I didn't see Virat out of form - difficult to judge that on difficult pitches. But he was good in the nets. We always enjoy the support from the crowd, when the backing is there we feel good.”

Pat Cummins, Australia captain, said that he was fairly disappointed. “Preparation was good, all firing, fair bit to look at as lots didn't go right. Gap is what it is. You want to get on the horse but we will take a couple of days' rest and get training in Adelaide. We didn't give ourselves a chance in a few different facets - like the finish on day 1 with bat. There's a lot of experience in the side, they're going about it well, there will be lots of conversations on what we can do better in same conditions.”
