Wondering about Rohit Sharma’s arrival in Perth ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy? As Team India battles Australia in the first Test in Perth, fans are eager to know when the skipper will rejoin the squad and take charge.

India's total in Perth is their joint-lowest in the first innings of a Test match on Australian soil. They were bowled out for 150 at Sydney in 2000 after electing to bat first. Only once India recorded a lower first-innings total in Australia - 58 all-out at Brisbane in 1947 while batting second.

India are pushing towards securing a famous Test win after openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal extended their lead over Australia to 130 runs in Perth.
