On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian side as Rohit Sharma was absent following the birth of his second child. Handling captaincy by leading the pace attack, Bumrah claimed a fifer for 30 runs in 18 overs. In the later half, the speedster snapped three wickets for 42 runs in 12 overs.
Following his spell and others' contribution, Team India won the first Test match by a huge margin of 295 runs against Australia in Perth.
