IND VS AUS 1st Test India won by 295 runs

India won by 295 runs

India have had some historic wins in the past but this win has to be up on the list too. There was no Rohit, no Gill, no Jadeja, no Ashwin, no Shami. Two debutants and Virat Kohli wasn't in the runs to add more worry to the inexperienced batting lineup. And they were coming off a humiliating 0-3 loss to New Zealand at home too. Australia welcomed them with the Perth Test - a venue that probably is the quickest Test venue in the world. There was grass left. It seamed around on Day 1 like never before here but India turned up to record their bossiest win ever on Australian soil when no one gave them a chance.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH : Jasprit Bumrah

We are so used to seeing Bumrah do extraordinary things that this performance from him isn't a surprise anymore. Even so, it's hard not to be in complete awe of the man who is quite simply the greatest bowler in the world. Accuracy, high pace, movement, cricket-smarts, deception, you name it. At certain points during this Test, his career bowling average dipped below 20, which is almost unheard of after playing these many Tests. Despite all the analysis, despite all the scrutiny, he keeps getting better. What a privilege it is to watch him do his thing and weave his magic across the globe. And what a nightmare it must be to face him as a batter.
