5 times India found a new star in the same series when a legend bid goodbye

#3 MS Dhoni - KL Rahul

At the Melbourne Cricket Ground back in 2014, MS Dhoni held the fort and salvaged a draw for the Indian team by arresting a minor collapse in the middle order, and then minutes later, announced his retirement from the format.

And almost as if it was scripted, a young KL Rahul grew in stature in the very next game at the Sydney Cricket Ground where he smashed his maiden Test century.

The baton was passed and how as a new star was born while a legend walked into the sunset.

Since then, Rahul has gone from strength to strength and has established himself as India’s opener in Test cricket.
