- Ajinkya Rahane – 3.5/5:
On another day, Rahane would have well registered a century in the second innings, but his half-century was priceless in the eventual outcome. While Pujara was running short of partners at one end, it was Rahane who held one end and gave able support to India’s number 3. As seen now, the partnership between the duo turned out to be match-winning.
