Cricket's financial power India has never truly dominated five-day Test cricket, but a sustained run of success is imminent due to its depth of talent and heft.

India has won the toss and elected to bat in the opening test of the Border-Gavaskar five-match series at Perth Stadium.

Cricket fans in India can watch this Test series via Star Sports. The cheapest way to watch is via the Disney Plus Hotstar app, but those looking to catch all the action on a device with a larger display will need to sign up for one of its more expensive tier subscriptions.
