Yuvraj Singh

One of the few players in the squad who also featured in the previous trips, Yuvraj Singh may not have scored runs in buckets, but when needed he delivered with the bat in hand.

His 202 runs in 9 matches at an average of 22 may seem underwhelming, but the left-hander's contributions with the bat were crucial in certain matches.

Like Dhoni, Yuvraj is active in the international game, but is not as consistent as Dhoni in the side.

Virender Sehwag

With India trying out the Robin Uthappa and Gambhir combination on a rotational basis, Sehwag barely made any impact in the series, scoring a mere 81 runs in 5 matches.

Sehwag featured in the following tour in 2012 as well, but could not make a big impact then either. He retired from the game in 2015 and is now the Director of Cricket for Kings XI Punjab.

Rohit Sharma

The biggest find from the series. The right-hander reposed the faith shown on him by his captain when it mattered the most, stroking his way to an impressive 66 in the 1st final of the series, stitching together a stand with Tendulkar, which not just helped India recover, but also win the game eventually.

With 235 runs in 10 matches, Sharma had a maiden tour to remember in Australia.

In a decade's time, Sharma has evolved into one of the best limited-overs openers in the game, with three ODI double hundreds to his name.
