Former Indian captain Anil Kumble believes that Virat Kohli and team deserve great credit for clinching the series in Australia and scripting history. There were a couple of times when it was very close, 2003/04 Australia drew the series & in 2007/08. There’s always ifs & buts regarding the Sydney Test match, but otherwise we came pretty close but this team richly deserves all the credit for beating Australia,” Kumble told CricketNext. So Mayank Agarwal’s contribution, both in Melbourne & of course in Sydney was important,” Kumble further added. Cheteshwar Pujara, who walked away with the man of the series award, drew special praise from Kumble.
