R ASHWIN- 5/10
R Ashwin starred in the Indian win at Adelaide by picking 6 wickets in the match. He matched the Australian spinner, who also picked 6 wickets and was sure of playing through the whole series.  However, for someone who has played just one format since last year and a half, Ashwin’s fitness has been an issue.

His poor fitness hampered India in England as well and now his fitness cost India a more dominating performance in the series. A good showing here would have also brought him contention for the limited overs team as well.

KULDEEP YADAV- 6/10
Kuldeep Yadav got to play just one match in the series, but what match it proved for him. Kuldeep played in the SCG Test and picked up a fifer, the first by an Indian left-arm chinaman bowler in Australia, first by an Indian spinner in his first Test in Australia and it also made Kuldeep the first left-arm wrist spinner to pick up fifers both at home and away.

JASPRIT BUMRAH- 10/10
Jasprit Bumrah continued his good form in Tests after his showing in South Africa and England, by picking up 21 wickets in four matches, including the best of 6/33 and match haul of 9/86. He also bowled the maximum overs in the series, 157.1, an ode to his fitness.

Bumrah was bowling at the stumps and adjusted his line and length according to needs of the pitch and the conditions. He also picked up 48 wickets in his debut year in Tests, a record for any Indian bowler.
