5 biggest positives to come out of India's tours Down Under

#1 India's top order doesn't depend on Virat Kohli completely

Cheteshwar Pujara - perhaps the biggest positive

One of the things that has frequently been said about the Indian team across formats is that they are over-dependent on Virat Kohli the batsman. But the batting of Chesteshwar Pujara seems to have shut up the critics, at least in red ball cricket.

Even in ODIs, Kohli was not the only contributor to the winning causes in Australia and New Zealand. It was a collective team effort which won India the games.

Pujara was the leader of the pack in Tests by a large margin, and had a similar tour of Australia that Kohli had in 2014. He scored runs for fun and was ably supported by others.

The ODIs that followed also had a similar trend as the openers and the middle order had an equal part to play in the success of the team.
