Kohli always believed in his bowling attack and their capability to take 20 wickets. He kept stressing upon the fact that if batsmen step up to support the bowlers, then there is no stopping to this Indian side.

Indian batsmen failed to perform collectively in England and South Africa. But, they stepped up really well in this series. A special highlight is the monk with abundance patience - Cheteshwar Pujara.

The Test cricket specialist and the player who really puts a huge price on his wicket. The series was all about Pujara's brilliance with the bat who churned runs with utmost patience and technique. Pujara frustrated and tired the Australian bowlers to a greater extent than 'The Wall' Rahul Dravid once did.

Pujara faced 1258 balls in the Test series surpassing the previous record held by none other than Dravid (1203 balls). When other batsmen struggled to get going at times, Pujara came to the rescue and bailed India to the position of advantage. No surprises there for his Man of the Series award.
