New Delhi. India entered the Perth Test against Australia with almost a new team. With the new batting order and new bowling attack, coaches Gautam Gambhir and Jasprit Bumrah prepared to face Australia. Fast bowler Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy made their debut in the Perth Test and managed to leave their mark in the first match. Reddy came in trouble and supported the team with the bat, while Harshit, while bowling, made Australia's stalwarts sweat.
The first match of the 5-match series being played between India and Australia started in Perth. Indian team captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and decided to bat first. Australia's fast bowlers worsened the condition of Team India by taking wickets one after the other. When the top order batsmen knelt down, debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy came in and single-handedly got rid of sixes from the Kangaroos. Played an inning of 41 runs on 59 balls with the help of 6 fours and 1 six. India was all out for 150 runs in the first innings. Nitish was the batsman who scored the most runs.
