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.

Australia will be wary knowing an underdog India have lifted off the canvas before, but they are strong favorites in a series that always captivates the cricket world.
