India-England Combined XI

Curran made the difference in more than one match of the series

Sam Curran

The find of the series for England. The all-rounder proved to be the key difference in more than one match with the bat and it was no surprise that the Indians voted for him to be the Player of the Series.

England will hope he gets better and makes similar contributions on future tours as well.

Ishant Sharma

India's best fast bowler on show right throughout the series. For far too long, Indian supporters have hoped for Ishant to rise and shine and put in match-winning performances.

While India could not win the series, there was not at any point a lack of effort from Ishant, who ran in innings-after-innings, bustling his way through in the run-up and testing the batsmen over-after-over.

It was a sight for sore eyes to watch him bowl the way he did.
