Starc, who delivered an impressive spell taking 6 wickets for 48 runs, played a key role in bowling out India for 180. Australia capitalized on this momentum, finishing the day at 86/1.
Starc emphasized the team’s effective execution after the initial hour and expressed satisfaction with the day’s overall outcome.
“Yeah, a very good first day for us with the ball, I think. After that first hour, I think we were pretty bang on. So, yeah, nice way to start the Test, bu byt a nice day one for us. It’s a good way to finish the day, or good day all up,” said Starc during the press-conference.
Starc’s early dismissal of Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal set a positive tone for Australia. Despite acknowledging Jaiswal’s potential, Starc remained cautious about the challenges ahead in the second innings.
“He (Jaiswal) had a good Test match last week. So, yeah, nice to get him early. And then we’ll have to work on him in the second innings, I guess so,” said Starc.
