India vs Australia: Aussie pacers skittle India for 150 on opening day

DEBUTANT Nitish Reddy’s gutsy 41 and Rishabh Pant’s brief daredevilry proved to be fleeting silver lining in an otherwise batting no-show by India as they were shot out for a lowly 150 at tea against a disciplined Australia on the opening day of the first Test in Perth.

Captain Jasprit Bumrah’s inexplicable decision to opt for batting on a bouncy green top can be debated in times to come.
