The Indian team was missing many major names in this spectacular campaign. Virat Kohli returned after the first Test as he opted for paternity leave. Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, KL Rahul were ruled out due to injuries. Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Hanuma Vihari and Navdeep Saini were injured after their heroic efforts in Sydney. India had brood in Washington Sundar and T Natarajan who had stayed behind as the net bowlers. The debutants impressed with their performances as India lifted the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
