If seen, this is the second time after the year 1980, when Australia lost five wickets before reaching 40 runs in a Test innings at home. This was seen against South Africa in Hobart in 2016 (17 runs for 5 wickets). On the first day of the Perth Test match, the ball seamed more than 0.793 degrees on average. On the first day, 181 runs were scored and 17 wickets fell, that is, the batting average on the first day was 10.64. On the second day of the Brisbane Test between Australia and South Africa in the year 2022, the seamers got an average seam of 0.810 degrees and the batting average was 9.16 (18 wickets for 165 runs).

This happened for the ninth time when the Indian team was all out on the first day of a Test series on foreign soil. The last time this was seen was in 2011 against West Indies in Kingston. However, for the first time in these nine occasions, the Indian team could play so few overs. Let us tell you that in the Perth Test, the Indian team played only 49.4 overs in its first innings.

Debutant player Nitish did wonders with the bat

In the first innings of the Indian team, debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy scored the highest score of 41 runs in 59 balls, which included 6 fours and one six. Whereas wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant contributed 37 runs and KL Rahul contributed 26 runs. Apart from these three, only Dhruv Jurel (11 runs) could reach double digits. For Australia, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Marsh took two wickets each. While Josh Hazlewood got maximum four successes. All 10 wickets for Australia were taken by fast bowlers.
