India vs West Indies test series: Five positives for India 

The whole test series lasted for just six days out of ten which tells us that how one-sided the test series has been so far. The hosts were totally dominant against a depleted Windies side as they outplayed in almost every department.

Many people criticized India for playing against such a weak team before going to Australia. Even though there wasn't much contest between the teams but still there are some positives that the Indian camp can take away from the two test series:

#1 Prithvi Shaw

England Lions v India A - Day Two

What a player this young man is! He just played his first international match and the way he batted in both the tests was unbelievable. To have this kind of talent at such a young age is phenomenal to watch. The teenager never looked uncomfortable at the crease from ball one he was right on top of the bowlers and never allowed any bowler to get over him.

The best quality about him was that he continued to play his natural game, he never tried to make any adjustments. Many players change their style a bit when they start playing international cricket and that's where they lose their confidence. The Delhi Daredevils batsman has got a lot of talent in him and if he is handled well by his coaching staff, the future for both Indian cricket team and himself is very bright.

#2 Rishabh Pant

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Five

Another young player who has got a lot of potential in him to be a superstar of the Indian team. He became the only Indian wicket-keeper to score a century in England. The moment he steps into bat he completely changes the momentum of the game and he doesn't try to be aggressive as it's his natural game which in turn puts a lot of pressure on the opposition bowling attack.

And the youngster might be India's answer to the legendary Adam Gilchrist but he has a long way to go before such comparisons are made. Rishabh Pant still has a lot to learn and needs to grow in his role as first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman for the Indian cricket team.

#3 Kuldeep Yadav

England v India: Specsavers 2nd Test - Day Three

Another young player who is fast growing in his stature as a test cricketer. He got 10 wickets in the four innings with a five-wicket haul in the 1st test, And he was used a lot as well from the skipper, maybe the team management wanted to test him whether he could bowl longer spells or no as the team needs him to bowl longer spells in Australia,

The youngster has responded well to these expectations. The left arm chinaman picked up wickets at crucial moments of the match. Kuldeep Yadav has demonstrated that if the team sticks with him for some time then he has what it takes to be the first choice spinner for India.

#4 Ravindra Jadeja

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Three

He sat out almost the entire England tour, but when he got an opportunity in the last test match he grabbed it with both the hands and made his mark, and since then there is no looking back for him.

Ravindra Jadeja had a brilliant Asia Cup both with the bat and as well as the ball. In this test series, he did something which the all-rounder never showed before in his career- he scored a quick-fire century in the first test on his home ground.

The Chennai Superkings player finally showed his talent with the bat. Also, he was his usual brilliant self with the ball. Jadeja finally showed his all-round game that Team India has been hoping he could produce and which everyone knew he was always capable of producing.

#5 Umesh Yadav

England v India: Specsavers 1st Test - Day One

Umesh Yadav produced brilliant performances in the series, especially when he was under the pressure of fighting for his place in the team.

His response to the competition was encouraging. Also, there was no Shardul Thakur as he was injured and had to leave the field, so he was the only fast bowler left for the hosts. The Saurashtra pacer took 10 wickets on a pitch which had nothing on offer for the fast bowlers which is an incredible feat. Now in Australia with the Kookaburra ball he could be a tempting option ahead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
