Without a doubt, the biggest gain from the match should be Jayant Yadav who completed his progress from the first-class arena to Test cricket without any fuss. The classical off-spinner had a memorable debut by making valuable contributions in all three departments of the game.

After joining hands with Wriddhiman Saha to create a much-needed opening on the field, he batted responsibly in both innings and helped cement India’s advantage. But, it was his bowling which garnered extensive coverage. Operating from a high-arm action, Jayant generated awkward bounce to complement his laudable accuracy. Needless to say, the 26-year-old has already evoked comparisons with his ‘good friend’ Ashwin.
