India's stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah lead from the front picking up eight wickets in the match. Bumrah was rightly adjudicated as the player of the match. In the match, young Yashasvi Jaiswal hit his maiden Test century on Australian soil, while Virat Kohli brought up his 81st international ton.
