Player Ratings For Indian Cricket TeamĀ
Rohit Sharma: 9/10 (11 & 127)
What a revelation he has been in the series. Hitman continues to curb his instincts and showcase classic Test match batting. Highest run-scorer behind Joe Root in the series. He brought his first overseas ton in the second innings.
KL Rahul: 6/10 (17 & 46)
Looked good in both innings. Put on an 83 run stand with Sharma which formed the base of a big total in the second innings.
Cheteshwar Pujara: 6/10 (4 & 61)
Pujara is averaging close to 70 in the second innings this series. He looks like he is getting back into form; was very positive and was outscoring Sharma at one point.
Virat Kohli: 7/10 (50 & 44)
Played fluently in both innings; narrowly missing back-to-back half-centuries. His bowling changes were spot on and India stands on the brink of a great series win.

Ajinkya Rahane: 2/10 (14 & 0)
Ajinkya Rahane has been struggling badly. He is probably in the worst form of his life. Albeit a great 2019, his numbers have been poor since 2015. His place should be under threat but the Team management seems to back him.

Rishabh Pant: 6/10 (9 & 50)
Pant threw away his wicket in the first innings. He played much more cautiously in the second innings and put on a century stand with Shardul Thakur. His glovework has been satisfactory.
Ravindra Jadeja: 7/10 (10 & 17) (2-36 & 2-50)
Jadeja was promoted up the order at number 5. He did not quite impress with the bat but took 2 wickets in both innings at important stages of the match.
Shardul Thakur: 9/10 (1/54 & 2/22) (57 & 60)
Thakur has played just 4 tests but has been part of two great overseas wins. His counter-attacking fifty in the first innings changed the course of the match and the second one completely deflated the opposition.

Umesh Yadav: 8/10 (3/76 & 3/60) (10 & 25)
Yadav bowled an absolute peach to dismiss root in the first innings. He took six wickets in the match and made some handy runs down the order.
Jasprit Bumrah: 7/10 (2/67 & 2/27) (0 & 24)
Bumrah dismissed England openers in the first innings. His spell in the second innings was game-changing which triggered a batting collapse. His batting has improved considerably.
Mohammed Siraj: 4/10 (1/42 & 0/44) (1* & 3*)
Siraj had a quiet game by his standards. He might make way for Mohammed Shami in the final game.
