Rahul’s performance in the match was crucial to India’s historic victory, to the extent that Rohit was moved to the middle order to accommodate Rahul at the top.
Rahul has been India’s best player in the series, scoring 235 runs in six innings at an average of 47, including two half-centuries. He is the second leading run scorer in the series, behind only Travis Head.
After a challenging home series against New Zealand, Rahul has bounced back strongly in Australia, with his key knock of 84 runs in the third Test at The Gabba being instrumental. The team hopes he stays fit for the next test in Melbourne which starts on December 26.
