India vs Australia 2017: 5 best performers from the series

3.Cheteshwar Pujara

India's highest run-getter of the series. The right-hander could have been mistaken for meditating than batting during the course of the four-Test matches, where he spent several long hours in the middle.

The right-hander amassed 405 runs in 4 Tests at an average of 57.85 with a double hundred in Ranchi, that helped India take the lead in the game.

Prior to the start of the home season, Pujara was criticised for his slow scoring rate, but what he has proven during the course of the season is that not only does have the extra gear in his batting, but he can be the rock for the team when they need him to be, like was the case in Ranchi.

Although playing all three formats for India remains difficult at the moment, Pujara has certainly established himself as a permanent member of the Test side, by virtue of his exploits with the bat.
