IND vs CLOSED: When the Indian team reached Australia, no one could have imagined that the Kangaroo team would be in such a bad condition in the very first innings of the Test match. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy series started in Perth on 22 November but the Indian batsmen performed very poorly. Team India could not even play 50 overs in their first innings and were bowled out for just 150 runs. After this the Indian bowlers did something that was rarely seen before today.
By the end of the first day’s play, Australia had scored 67 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in the first innings. After this, on the next day, Australia could only add 37 runs to their score and collapsed to a paltry score of 104 runs. In this way, the bowlers of Team India have created a new record at the home of Australia. In fact, this is Australia’s second lowest Test score against India at home.
Australia’s lowest Test score against India (on Australian soil)
- 83 runs – Melbourne, year 1981
- 104 runs – Perth, year 2024
- 107 runs – Sydney, year 1947
- 131 runs – Sydney, year 1978
- 145 runs – Adelaide, year 1992
After 77 years a big miracle happened
Not only this, this is the lowest Test score by an Australian team in the first innings of a Test match against India at home. In this way, Team India has created a new record of dismissing Australia for the lowest score in the first innings of a Test match at its own home, along with which the Indian team has broken its 77-year-old record. Before this, in the year 1947, Team India achieved a great achievement by defeating the host Australia by 107 runs in the first innings of the Test match played in Sydney.
