India Takes 1-0 Lead in Test Series

India secured a commanding 295-run victory over Australia in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, taking a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. After dismissing Australia for 238, India's bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah with figures of 5/30, showcased their dominance throughout the match. Yashasvi Jaiswal's impressive 161 runs and KL Rahul's steady 77 helped India build a substantial lead after a shaky first innings. The Australian side struggled significantly, with their top-order batters unable to establish any substantial partnerships, and they have not won a Test series against India since 2015. The next matches will take place in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, where Australia faces a challenging road ahead to reclaim the trophy. India's strong performance has raised questions about Australia's ability to compete in the series, particularly following their recent home whitewash against New Zealand.
