India were bowled out for 150 on Day 1 of the first Test against Australia in Perth, with debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy top-scoring with 41. Reddy's seventh-wicket stand with Rishabh Pant, who scored 16, provided some resistance as India struggled against Australia’s pace attack. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins dominated, reducing India to 73/6 before Reddy and Pant’s partnership added some stability. KL Rahul’s controversial dismissal and Virat Kohli’s early exit added to India's woes. India’s stand-in captain, Jasprit Bumrah, opted to bat first, leaving out Ashwin and Jadeja.
