MATCH SUMMARY

Stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah was the star of the show for India as he bagged eight wickets in the game. Young Yashasvi Jaiswal also hit his first Test century on Australian soil after registering a duck in the first essay. 

‘Very happy with the beginning’

"Very happy with the beginning. Were put under pressure in the first innings, but the way we responded after that - very proud. Played here in 2018. I remember that when you start here, the wicket is a little soft and then it gets quicker and quicker. Was relying on that experience. This wicket was a little less spicy than the last one. We were really well prepared so I was telling everyone to have faith in their process and ability," Bumrah said at the post-match presentation.
