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.

MOHAMMAD SHAMI- 9/10

Mohammad Shami proved to be the workhorse bowler for India and picked up 16 wickets in the series with a best of 6/56. Shami had previously toured Australia in 2014-15, but this performance proved to be a game changer for India.

He brilliantly bowled giving India the much-needed firepower with both the new and old ball. He complimented his fellow fast bowlers well and got amazing reverse swing during the end overs of the day. Though Shami proved to be a tad bit expensive, he helped Bumrah and spinners keep a lid on Australian batting.


ISHANT SHARMA- 9/10

Ishant Sharma picked 11 wickets in 3 Tests that he played. His best bowling was 4/41 and the amount of bowling he did was amazing since he mostly bowled long spells at one go. He changed his length of bowling to suit the pitch and conditions to inflict the most damage to the Australian batting.


UMESH YADAV- 1/10

Umesh Yadav got to play just one Test in the series, at Perth and picked two wickets, including the much-wanted wicket of Pat Cummins, who frustrated the Indian bowling a lot in the series.


ROHIT SHARMA- 5/10

Rohit Sharma returned to the Test fold, playing two Tests and scoring 106 runs. His best score was 63* and he averaged 35.33. He missed the final Test at SCG as he returned home to Mumbai to be with his wife and newborn daughter, missing the celebrations of historic Indian Test series win.
