Meanwhile, Natarajan ended up as the leading wicket-taker of the series with 6 scalps to his name at a stunning average of 13.83 and an economy of 7.00. Hardik Pandya who received the 'Player of the Series' award gave it away to Natarajan because he felt that the left-arm quick deserved it.

David Warner ruled out of India vs Australia 1st Test

Warner on Wednesday was ruled out of India vs Australia 1st Test because of a groin injury he sustained in the limited-overs series. After the David Warner injury, the Australian team management has a huge task ahead of them to name an appropriate replacement for the southpaw.

It will be interesting to see what the Australian team management will do to fill the void left by Warner's absence. The left-hander's absence is also a worrying sign because his opening partner Joe Burns has also been in abysmal form. Joe Burns averaged a modest 32 last summer and has had a mediocre start to the Sheffield Shield season, scoring only 57 runs in five innings.
