India dominated the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by winning by 295 runs at Perth earlier this week. Following India's performance, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting praised the visitors while speaking on Star Sports. He said that India has improved its performance on foreign pitches, adding that the team was a better when they toured than when they played at home.
Ponting said that India had made the right decision to bat first even though they were bowled out for 150 runs in the first innings. "Australia lost by what? Nearly 300 runs. So, they'll be very disappointed.
Everyone asked me on day one when India won the toss about having a bat, and I said, no, absolutely, you have to bat first there. Four test matches have been played there. The team batting first has won all four times.
You don't want to go against what stats say. Although they were out for 150, they still got a chance to bowl on the wicket when it was probably at its best to bowl on. And Bumrah in those conditions, and Siraj, and actually all three of them.
And Nitesh Reddy today. They're all very good. The cricketer-turned-commentator said India deserved credit for the win.

I must admit, I didn't think that they could win the first test, India, going there in Perth with conditions that are so foreign to them.
But I also made a point going into the test match that I actually think India are a better team away from home now than they are at home. I think they play foreign wickets and conditions better than they play their own conditions now. And I think that's been proven over the last week in Perth.
” Meanwhile, Australian pacer Mitchell Starc praised young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal while speaking to Star Sports. "He's (Jaiswal) not in his first game, so there's obviously been a bit of hype around him, and he's certainly very skillful. I think we saw that over the second innings this week.
He's a huge talent in India, and he's going to play a lot of cricket for them. It was nice to get him cheaply in the first innings, but he certainly made amends in the second.” (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel ).
