AUS v IND 2018-19: COC players’ ratings for Team India in Test series

Team India achieved their maiden Test series win in Australia after 71 years.

HANUMA VIHARI- 5/10

Hanuma Vihari had a lackluster series with 111 runs in three Tests. He also opened for India in one of the Tests, when both Rahul and Vijay were dropped from the team. However, Vihari must have rued chances of not making the most of the starts he got throughout the series and would like to forget his stint as an opener.


RISHABH PANT- 9/10

Rishabh Pant has firmly cemented his place in the Indian Test team as the no.1 keeper-batsman. Though his wicketkeeping skills are a work in progress, with much work needed when keeping to the spinners and diving; he did make a record of taking 20 catches in a series.

However, his biggest contribution came with the bat, as he scored 350 runs in the series with a career-best 159* in the SCG Test that helped India post 622/7d. Pant continuously scored runs in the series when needed and at a good rate. He even left Virat Kohli behind to become the second highest run-getter in the series, behind Cheteshwar Pujara.


RAVINDRA JADEJA- 7/10

Ravindra Jadeja played two Tests and scored a brilliant 81 in the SCG Test and picked 7 wickets. He was brilliant in both the MCG and SCG Test matches, picking up crucial wickets and aiding the fast bowlers to the hilt. Not playing Jadeja in the Perth Test cost India the match and with his increasingly dependable batting, Jadeja might again become a staple in the Indian team.
