CHETESHWAR PUJARA- 10/10
The rock of Indian team batting was Cheteshwar Pujara, who scored 521 runs with 3 centuries at an average of 74.42 and the highest score of 193 runs. He was the backbone of the Indian batting that blunted a very potent attack from Australia including the like of Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc, and Lyon.

Pujara batted for hours and hours and even became the fifth Indian batsman to bat for 1,000 balls in a single series down under. Pujara ensured that India was well ahead in the match and when he failed to get going in Perth, India lost the match. But he showed that how classical Test match batting should be with a sublime 193 in SCG Test, that almost won the match for India, if not for the rain.

VIRAT KOHLI- 8/10
Indian Captain Virat Kohli was subdued by his standards, especially after the bumper England Test series. Kohli scored 282 runs in 4 Tests with one century and two half-centuries. His highest score was 123 and he averaged 40.28.

Kohli might have been on the back burner when it came to dominating the batting charts, but the way he captained and led his troops was the best thing. Once India put the Australians on the backfoot with their batting, Kohli marshaled his bowlers very well and didn’t let a single Australian batsman score a century in four Tests. His captaincy and batting combined for an impressive showing for the series.

AJINKYA RAHANE- 6/10
Ajinkya Rahane scored two fifties in the series and 217 runs with the highest score of 70 and was there to support the batsmen who were in the flow. His fielding was on the point whether in slips or other catching positions. Without an outstanding performance, Rahane still managed to be relevant to the cause of the team’s objective of winning the series and contributed well.
