Cricket World's Player of the Week - Jasprit Bumrah, India

India ran riot to win the opening Test in Perth by a crushing 295 runs on Monday and leave Australia shellshocked and searching for answers.

Set a mountainous 534 for victory, the world's top-ranked Test team crumbled to 238 all out in the final session on day four.

A counter-punching Travis Head made a gritty 89 while Mitchell Marsh chipped in with 47. 

But it was never going to be enough against an inspired attack led by the irrepressible Jasprit Bumrah, who took 3-42 to claim eight wickets in the match.

Under Bumrah's temporary captaincy, they utterly dominated an ageing side which is now the one facing scrutiny after failing to fire.
