India vs Australia 2017: 5 best performers from the series

1.Ravindra Jadeja

Without a doubt, India's best performer in the series. For the best part of the home season before this series, a major chunk of Jadeja's contribution was limited to the ball, but in the series against Australia, the Saurashtra cricketer also came up with the goods with the bat in hand, making significant contributions at important junctures.

He made 127 runs in the 4 matches with the bat in hand and then with the ball in hand, picked up 25 wickets to end as the highest wicket-taker of the series.

In a home season, dominated by performances by his spinning partner Ravichandran Ashwin, Jadeja carved a niche for himself in the series against Australia to show that he is not to be left behind in the race for the best spinner in the team.

He will now play a series of limited-overs matches and will hope to carry this form when the Tests begin again later this year.
