The hero this time, of course, was stand-in skipper Rahane, who scored a century in the first innings — besides the bowlers led by Bumrah and Ashwin who didn’t let the absence of Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav (injured during the Test) hurt them. Bowling out Australia for 195 and 200 is a testimony of that. And Mohammed Siraj picking up five wickets in his debut Test, with Gill scoring 45 and 35 not out, augurs well for Indian cricket.
