India Vs Australia BGT 2024 – Day 3 of the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth saw India maintain a dominant position against Australia. The day was highlighted by centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (161) and Virat Kohli (100*). India declared their innings at 6-487, setting Australia a massive target of 522 runs.
In response, Australia’s batting lineup struggled against India’s pace attack, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the charge. Bumrah took a five-wicket haul, including the key dismissals of Marnus Labuschagne (LBW for 3) and Alex Carey (caught behind). Harshit Rana, on debut, impressed with three wickets, dismissing crucial batters like Travis Head and Nathan Lyon. By stumps, Australia was reduced to 31/4 in their second innings, with the pitch showing significant wear and cracks
India’s bowling depth and the deteriorating pitch conditions make it unlikely that the match will extend to Day 5 unless Australia can significantly improve their batting resilience. The Test has been a display of India’s all-round dominance so far.
