England vs India 2018: 5 best individual performances by Indian batsmen in this series.

#2 Lokesh Rahul -149 at The Oval

Played with a lot of freedom

There was a lot of pressure on Rahul to perform coming into this fifth Test match. In the previous outings, he used to be circumspect early on his innings but in this match, he looked to be in the positive frame of mind. He was attacking in his approach and the reward was that he got to his fifth Test hundred.

He was always destined for greater things. Let us hope this is a start of much more to come.

#1 Cheteshwar Pujara - 132* at Rose Bowl

Best Knock of the series

Arguably the best innings on this series. It came when there was plenty happening on that Rose Bowl surface and no one batsman was comfortable playing on that pitch. Pujara played a fighting innings scoring almost 50 per cent of the teams runs.

It was a crucial game for his career as his performance has begun to be a cause of worry for the team management but he managed to turn it around with a marvellous hundred. He also exhibited his attacking play in that innings.
