India won both Test matches, at Chennai and Kanpur, to beat Bangladesh 2-0 in the Test series. Here are the marks out of 10 for the India cricketers.
Rohit Sharma: 4/10
2 matches | 42 runs at 10.50, HS: 23
Rohit’s field placements and bowling changes were spot on. At the same time, barring the three sixes that got India off to a rollicking start at Kanpur, he had an ordinary series with the bat.
Yashasvi Jaiswal: 8.5/10
2 matches | 189 runs @ 47.25, HS: 72, 3 fifties | Ct: 4
If Jaiswal’s three fifties in four innings demonstrated his ability to score runs, the different nature of his innings showed his ability to adapt. Gets half a point for those excellent slip catches.
Shubman Gill: 7/10
2 matches | 164 runs @ 54.67, HS: 119*, 1 hundred
A satisfying hundred at Chennai, but little else of note for Gill in the series – though he can hardly be blamed for holing out while going for the slog in the first innings at Kanpur.
Virat Kohli: 5/10
2 matches | 99 runs @ 33.00, HS: 47
Kohli followed an ordinary outing in Chennai (where he got a bad decision) with two quick innings at Kanpur. That average is approaching 50 again.
Rishabh Pant: 8/10
2 matches | 161 runs @ 53.67, HS: 109, 1 hundred | Ct: 3
Pant celebrated his return to Test cricket with an emotional hundred. He also put to rest the worries around his keeping for extended periods of time. He is Australia-ready again.
