- Umesh Yadav – 4/5:
India’s unsung hero of this series, Yadav left one final burst for the end, as he demolished the Australians in the second innings with three wickets. Yadav bowled his heart out and put forward a display of vicious fast bowling on the third afternoon to have Australia reeling. With five wickets in the game, Yadav indeed was the best pacer on either sides.
