If it was Pujara who led India's batting prowess, Jasprit Bumrah was at the heart of India's bowling exploits. It is not too long ago that the youngster made his Test debut against South Africa at Capetown, but ever since he has grown in confidence with his sheer ability to bowl quick and with consistency.

With 21 wickets- most in this series by any bowler, Bumrah has emerged as Kohli's go-to man in the past twelve months. Being an astute reader of the game does help his cause as it makes easier for him to anticipate what the batsman tries to do.

His faith in his ability to execute his plans is an added feature to his rise as a Test bowler. A Test career which is just 10 games old, Bumrah has a lot to offer to Indian cricket in the years to come.
