Tesla CEO Elon Musk has praised India’s electoral process, comparing it to the sluggish counting of votes in the United States as California is still yet to declare the polling results of the presidential elections.

Even after almost 20 days since the 2024 US presidential elections results were announced, the counting in California state is still underway and the poll has not been officially called.

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

India's total in Perth is their joint-lowest in the first innings of a Test match on Australian soil. They were bowled out for 150 at Sydney in 2000 after electing to bat first. Only once India recorded a lower first-innings total in Australia - 58 all-out at Brisbane in 1947 while batting second.

India are pushing towards securing a famous Test win after openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal extended their lead over Australia to 130 runs in Perth.
