Pujara, who didn't have a large number of noteworthy performances outdoor the sub-continent, completed with 521 runs in four Tests, which incorporated three masses with a best ranking of 193 and a mean of 74.42.
No one deserved the 'Man of the Series' award more than the loyal No. 3 from Saurashtra, whose dogged masses at Adelaide and Melbourne made it simple for the likes of Bumrah (21 wickets) and Mohammed Shami (16 wickets) to press house the advantage towards a below-par Australian batting line-up.
Such has been Pujara's dominance, that skipper Kohli's aggregate of 282 runs paled when compared.
However, if a threadbare research is done at the high quality of the 5 masses that Indian batsmen struck all over the series, Kohli's century on a virgin Optus Stadium observe, rated "average" via the International Cricket Council, used to be the best.
Rishabh Pant, together with his 159 no longer out did his case no hurt, rising as the second one best run-getter with 350 runs to his credit.
One of the most important takeaways from the series used to be rookie opener Mayank Agarwal (195 runs) retaining his own on the largest stage with half-centuries on the MCG and SCG.

With a workhorse like Ishant Sharma (11) and Mohammed Shami, who can every so often produce a wicket-taking delivery, the Indian pacers accounted for 50 out of the 70 Australian wickets all over the series.
Ravindra Jadeja got here again for the ultimate two Test fits of the series, picking seven wickets and scoring a half-century, again giving proof of his all-round software.
Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav shrugged off the disappointment of his inauspicious efficiency on the Lord's all over the England series, with a maiden five-for outdoor India, prompting coach Ravi Shastri to call him a significant possibility for Test fits in all prerequisites.
Mayank and Kuldeep's emergence as potent Test guns may just definitely be ominous indicators for the Tamil Nadu duo of Murali Vijay and Ravichandran Ashwin.

But it could smartly be the end of the road for Vijay, a veteran of 61 Tests and nearing 35 years of age.
After a nightmarish series in England, Australia used to be no better for the right-hander, who till 2017 used to be India's most technically achieved opener.
With only 49 runs in four innings, Mayank taking part in a stellar hand and Prithvi Shaw ready in the wings, it is dangerous information for Vijay.
KL Rahul, with 57 runs from 5 innings, has also had a longer run of dangerous patch but age is on his facet and the skill is unquestionable.
One of the batsmen who have had modest returns is vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, who scored 217 runs in four games at a mean of 31, with two half-centuries.
While his position is probably not below forthcoming danger, Hanuma Vihari's gritty display and ability to bowl occasional off-breaks would pressure the Mumbaikar to keep his guard up.
