Australia’s bowlers are right on top at Perth Stadium after India lost four wickets in an opening session in which KL Rahul was dismissed in controversial fashion.
India’s quest to conquer Australia again on their own turf has begun in disastrous fashion on a dramatic opening morning of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy during which Virat Kohli was removed cheaply and batting stalwart KL Rahul was involved in a controversial third-umpire decision.
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and No.3 Devdutt Padikkal both perished for ducks, from eight and 23 balls respectively, in their first Test innings in Australia. Starc and Hazlewood were brilliant in the opening session on a bouncy Perth pitch, with the latter removing Padikkal after a miserable 39-minute stay at the crease which did not trouble the scorers.Padikkal’s dismissal brought Kohli to the crease at 2-14, a situation which was far from ideal for the Indian superstar. Since COVID-19, Kohli has been a shade of his former self and has made just two centuries in the past five years.
Kohli’s premature departure left India reeling at 3-32, and their predicament worsened when Rahul was adjudged caught behind for a hard-fought 26.
