Perth (PTI): India recorded a dominant 295-run win in the first Test after dismissing Australia for 238 in their second innings on day four here on Monday.
With the thumping win, India lead the five-match series 1-0.
It did not take long for India to complete formalities after reducing Australia to 227 for eight at tea. Chasing 534, the hosts were all out shortly after the break.
Travis Head (89) and Mitchell Marsh (47) showed fight in an otherwise underwhelming batting performance by the hosts. Alex Carey (36) was the last man to be dismissed.
Three wickets fell in the afternoon session after Mohammed Siraj reduced Australia to 104 for five at lunch.
India made a remarkable comeback after getting bowled out for 150 on the opening day as Australia were limited to 104 in response.
The second test begins in Adelaide from December 6.
Brief Scores:
India: 150 & 487/6 declared in 134.3 overs
Australia: 104 and 238 all out in 58.4 overs (Travis Head 89, Mitchell Marsh 47; Jasprit Bumrah 3/42, Mohammed Siraj 3/51).
