India vs Australia: Bumrah’s deadly spell brings India back into the game

SKIPPER Jasprit Bumrah made amends for his debatable toss call to bat first with a mesmerising opening spell that left Australia scurrying for cover at 67 for 7 and helped India make an emphatic comeback after a flop show with the willow on the opening day of the first Test in Perth.

The match, which was billed as a battle between two out of form batting units, lived up to the prediction at least on the first day.
