India debutant Harshit Rana credited Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli's guidance for his impactful 3/48 spell in the Perth Test, helping India stage a stunning comeback after a shaky start in the Border Gavaskar Trophy opener.

Virat Kohli was full of energy on Friday as he motivated the Indian team on the first day of the Perth Test. Stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian bowling attack and took four wickets. Australia struggled against India's bowling and ended the day with seven wickets down.

It was a rather sensational day for both bowling attacks, with Australia dismissing India for 150 runs in the first innings, with Josh Hazelwood taking four wickets on day one.
