Underdogs Help India To Series Win In Australia

Shubman Gill
Gill, playing in his debut Test series, shone with the bat scoring 259 runs in three matches. His 91 in the second innings of the final Test laid the foundation of India's win.
Mohammed Siraj
Another debutant, Siraj was India's highest wicket-taker with 13 wickets. The Hyderabadi also earned praise for taking a stand against racist abuse in the Sydney Test.
T Natarajan
Originally a net bowler, Natarajan was given his Test debut in the fourth Test after Jasprit Bumrah was injured. Nattu, as he's called by teammates and fans, impressed with the ball snagging three wickets.
Washington Sundar
Brought in place of Ravichandran Ashwin, Sundar shone with bat and ball on his debut. With fellow tailender Shardul Thakur, Sundar hit 62 in the first innings at the Gabba and followed it up with a four-wicket haul.
Shardul Thakur
Making his Test comeback after two years, Thakur put in an all-round performance in the fourth Test. He top-scored for India in the first innings with a 67 and followed it up with a seven-wicket haul in the match.
