Scorer: K Vairavan | Commentator: Ekanth & Andrew McGlashan

Quite the historic Test win, ditto for the match itself. It's shown India have the ability to bounce back after a crushing home whitewash against New Zealand, and Australia require introspection before getting in to Adelaide. With four Tests to go, being 1-0 doesn't rule out the chance of a comeback but Australia have won just one Test series after being 1-0 since 1970 (home and away). They've lost 24 series and drawn five, and three of the five drawn series were two-match series. India will have a lot of time to celebrate this colossal achievement, they'll have Rohit return for Adelaide. Maybe a couple other changes too, that promises to be a riveting Test too. Join us for it, lots of reportage and analysis will be on the site (and app), please check it out. For now, I'm Ekanth, signing off on behalf of Andrew McGlashan, my co-commentator, our scorers M Venkat Raghav, Sudeep Poojari, and K Vairavan.

ICYMI: The first day of the IPL auction was full of action, here's how the teams stacked up at the end of the day. There's more coming up later today, coverage on the live blog will begin soon. You can also check out what the IPL teams need on day two of auction (Plenty to do for Mumbai Indians and RCB)

Jasprit Bumrah, India captain and POTM: Very happy. We were put under pressure in the first innings, but the way we responded was great. I played here in 2018 - I remember the wicket started soft. This one was less spicy, we were really well prepared. I told everyone to keep faith in your ability. Jaiswal's best Test innings so far, he left the ball well, I didn't see Virat out of form - difficult to judge that on difficult pitches. But he was good in the nets. We always enjoy the support from the crowd, when the backing is there we feel good.

Pat Cummins, Australia captain (is chatting to Bumrah and can't hear Adam Gilchrist call him at first. He jogs in a bit late): Fairly disappointing. Prep was good, all firing, fair bit to look at as lots didn't go right. Gap is what it is. You want to get on the horse but we will take a couple of days' rest and get training in Adelaide. We didn't give ourselves a chance in a few different facets - like the finish on day 1 with bat. There's a lot of experience in the side, they're going about it well, there will be lots of conversations on what we can do better in same conditions.

India in historic sporting action is not done for the day yet. Across in Singapore, a youngster is on the brink of immortality. You can follow match 1 of the chess World Championship match between D Gukesh and reigning champ Ding Liren LIVE right here .

Bharath Janarth: "No docking of points for Aussies for slow over rate? " Almost certain there will be. The news will be published on our site once the official announcement is out.

Raja: "I'm sure former cricketers are going to have a go at the Aus players for the Camaraderie shown after such a humiliating defeat. This is not how Aus teams behave." Well, there will be a lot said around it, most of it nonsense. If being nice the thing that made cricket teams lose games, cricket would've sucked.

Prasanna S: "India back on top in WTC table."

3. Record of away teams in this WTC Cycle - 24 wins, 25 losses. That record was 19-38 in the previous cycle (2021-23) and 18-34 in the first cycle (2019-21)

2. India's third-biggest win by runs, away from home

Stats from Sampath: 1. Only one team has won by a bigger margin than India's 295 runs despite scoring only 150 (or less) in their first innings - 343 runs by West Indies against Australia in 1991 Bridgetown Test, where they made only 149 in their first innings.

Jalan: "Can India carry forward the 295 runs to next test ? " Just momentum

3:49pm, Day 4, End of Test: West Test put to rest, Australia had never lost one at Perth Stadium, that streak's also put to rest. Bumrah carries a stump, deserves every souvenir he wants. He's been so good. Hugs between Bumrah and Rana, Rahul and one of his team-mates too. More nice scenes - Marnus and Ashwin having a chat, Kohli has arms around Head's shoulder.

Harshit Rana to Carey, OUT, A monumental win sealed with a juicy slower ball. Follows up the bumper and Carey was way too early on the forward push. 109ks offcutter landed on the fuller side of length around middle and off and spun away past the shoulder of Carey's bat as he tried to push it straight. Off stump dinked and Rana leaps up in delight. May the celebrations begin.
