India lowest score in Australia Test

India’s ongoing Test series against Australia has brought back memories of some of their lowest moments on Australian soil. In the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 1st test match, India faced a dramatic collapse, and were bowled out at 150. But this isn’t the first time India has faced such struggles in Australia.

India elected to bat first in Perth. The pitch provided significant movement, and Australia’s seamers exploited it brilliantly. Hazlewood claimed four wickets, supported by two each from the rest of the bowlers. India struggled to settle, with only Rishabh Pant’s aggressive shots after lunch and debutant Nitish Reddy’s promising knock offering any resistance. Together, they added 48 runs for the seventh wicket. The conditions are expected to remain favorable for seamers when India bowl next.
