India are currently taking on Australia in the fourth Test of the five-match series in the much-anticipated Boxing Day match. Day 1 ended with Australia on top. As usual, it was Jasprit Bumrah who was the star of the show for India as they picked up 6 wickets on the first day. Bumrah even managed to silence Travis Head, who has been a nightmare for India across all formats in recent times. Bumrah, with his great performance in the first Test , has created history by becoming the first Indian to achieve a massive feat.
Jasprit Bumrah, after being hammered by debutant Sam Konstas in his initial spell, came back with a bang. In fac, he picked up the dangerous Travis Head, who slammed two centuries in the last two Tests of the series, for a 7-ball duck. Head left a ball which was swinging into him. However, it proved to be a misjudgment as the ball rattled his stumps.
Jasprit Bumrah, thus became the first Indian bowler to dismiss Travis Head for a duck in international cricket history.

He bowled four consecutive maidens, before picking up the three important wickets of Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh.
He finished with figures of 3/75 from 21 overs at the end of Day 1.
Overall Australia scored 311/6 at Stumps on Day 1. Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith slammed half-centuries. Bumrah led the charge for India with three wickets, while Akash Deep, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja scalped 1 wicket each.
