Chasing a target of 328 in the second innings, the Indian batsmen chased down the target with three overs to spare. Shubman Gill’s 91 runs, Cheteshwar Pujara’s 56 runs, and Rishabh Pant’s unbeaten 89 runs of 138 deliveries were crucial to India’s victory.
Rishabh Pant, who played a T20-like knock, was awarded the player of the match, while Pat Cummins was recognised as the player of the series for his brilliant performance throughout the series and for registering four wickets in the final test match.

The performance of the Indian youngsters and the calm and composed captaincy by Ajinkya Rahane in the absence of skipper Virat Kohli is highly commendable.
