Jasprit Bumrah needed Virat Kohli's DRS expertise to get Australian batter Nathan McSweeney out in on Day 1 of the Perth Test.
India's stand-in skipper for the opening Test of the series against Australia, Jasprit Bumrah, delivered triple blows to the hosts after his team could only put a total of 150 runs on the board. Bumrah's fist victim came in the form of Nathan McSweeney who was dismissed LBW for 10 runs. However, the initial call from the on-field umpire was of not-out. Bumrah was interested in going for DRS but had his doubts. This is when Virat Kohli helped him with his views.

The stump mic caught the chatter between the players, with Bumrah saying, "Close hai. (It's close)." Wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant, however, wasn't as convinced. But, Kohli's advice seems to have convinced Bumrah to go ahead.
"Pad pe lagi hai pehle, lele lele. (It has hit the pad first, take it take it)," Kohli told Bumrah.
The entire Indian team rejoiced as three reds popped up on the giant screen when the decision was reviewed.
