5 Major Takeaways for Kohli and his side from the Australian Test Series 

The Indians have been ruthless in their ongoing Australian tour showcasing complete domination in both the T20s and Test series. The Aussies have been no match to this young Indian side. Having outplayed Australia in all departments on the field, the dynamic visitors have a lot of crucial takeaways from this series.

---

Reduced dependence on Kolhi

The Indian batting has been phenomenal in the ongoing test series with Cheteshwar Pujara leading the onslaught. The Indian skipper is currently the third highest run-getter in the ongoing test series with Pujara and Rishabh Pant ahead of him.

Pujara currently has the most runs to his name. In the England tour, the Indian team showed their dependence on the skipper as the skipper scored 593 runs in 5 games, the only Indian who even got close to the skipper was KL Rahul who scored 299 runs in 5 games.

Greater bench strength

The Indian team has showcased the best bench strength with players coming and performing whenever called up. Major examples are Mayank Agarwal and Kuldeep Yadav. Agarwal already has 2 fifties to his name in the 3 innings he has played in his Test career so far.

Whereas the chinaman Kuldeep took a five-for in his very first game of the series after sitting out in the first 3 games. His haul has put India in the driver's seat as they look to create history by winning their first test series on Australian soil. Kuldeep's figures of 5 for 99 are also the second best by a visiting left-arm wrist spinner in Australia.

The emergence of a pace bowling unit

The pace bowling trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Ishant Sharma left the Aussies bamboozled with their knack of picking up wickets at regular intervals. The trio already has 48 wickets in the test series so far.

Bumrah is currently the joint leading wicket-taker in the series along with Nathon Lyon. Shami is the second highest leading wicket-taker with 16 wickets.

The return of Pujara

Pujara made an incredible return after the England series to show why he is considered to be 'The New Wall' of Indian cricket. Pujara has struck 3 centuries in 4 games so far. He has 521 runs to his name at an average of 74.42.

In the first innings of the final Test, Pujara went past Rahul Dravid's record for the most balls faced by an Indian in Australia. He currently holds that record with 1258 balls faced.

The emergence of Rishabh Pant in the test format

Pant showcased his incredible talent when he struck an unbeaten 159 in the first innings. Pant had shown glimpses of his talent in the test series against England but his innings in the final test left everyone in awe of his talent. He also became the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a Test century on Australian soil.

In appreciation of Pant's performance the former Australian captain, Ricky Ponting called him the next 'Adam Gilchrist'. Pant is currently the second highest run scorer in the series with 350 runs to his name coming at an average of 58.33.
