Despite this, Team India registered a historic victory. After breaking Australia’s pride at the Gabba in 2021, India has now broken Australia’s pride at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Before this Test, Australia had played four Tests at Perth’s Optus Stadium and won all of them. They had to face defeat in the fifth. Earlier matches were played at Perth’s WACA Stadium. However, matches started being played at Optus Stadium from 2018. Perth (WACA, 2008), Adelaide (2008), Gabba (2021) and now Perth (Optus)… India has won some historic matches in Australia. The special thing is that a team with less experience than Australia has surprised the Kangaroos. It was great to keep the host intimidated on Perth’s bouncy and pace pitch. This is also India’s biggest win in Australia by the margin of runs. Before winning this match by 295 runs, India had won by 222 runs in Melbourne in 1977. At the same time, in 2018, India defeated Australia by 137 runs in Melbourne. This comeback of the Indian team is special after being clean swept 0-3 at home against New Zealand.
