Aussies dominate first session in Perth after India choose to bat first
Lachlan Geleit, SEN • November 22nd, 2024 5:23 pm
Australia have gotten off to a strong start on Day 1 in Perth, taking four wickets in the first session to have India 4/51 at Lunch after the visitors chose to bat first.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (0) was the first wicket to fall with the score 1/5 as Mitchell Starc had the left-handed opener caught in gully by debutant Nathan McSweeney.
Number three Devdutt Padikkal (0) also fell for a duck after facing 23 balls with Josh Hazlewood taking his edge after changing ends after his new ball spell. That change of ends would also bring the wicket of Virat Kholi (5) with the score 3/32 as the big Aussie’s extra bounce had Kholi fending and caught in slips.
The last wicket to fall in the session came just before Lunch with opener KL Rahul (26) controversially given out after a review caught behind off the bowling of Starc.
While the umpire didn’t give it out originally, it was overturned after a spike appeared on snicko, although Rahul felt that was from his bat hitting his pad.
Rishabh Pant (10 not out) and Dhruv Jurel (4 not out) return to the crease for the start of the second session at 4 pm (AEDT) and 1 pm (local time).
