Ishant Sharma (whole series). Mohammed Shami (three Tests). Virat Kohli (three Tests). Umesh Yadav (two Tests). Ravindra Jadeja (most likely, one-and-a-half Tests). Hanuma Vihari (most likely, one Test). Rishabh Pant (at least half a Test). Rohit Sharma (two Tests). KL Rahul (not close to the playing XI but out of the series). R Ashwin has tweaked his back too. Cheteshwar Pujara is playing with a hand injury sustained in the nets. This is the known list of injuries suffered by the Indian team on the tour to Australia.

Wow. :(

Add in Hardik Pandya and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar.

We are basically playing with our #1, #6 and #7 fast bowlers. And now without our two best allrounders.

Fair, having a number nine who knew how to use a bat would have been handy this series also tbf.

It blows my mind that you lot get 7 tests in ONE country with the same two teams in that timeframe.

Yeah, actually this can set a precedent. Teams playing such extended series over a year or two can give a better indication. Play two sets of three games each, or a three test series followed by a two test one - also kind of evens out inconsistencies like injuries and form slumps to key players which can screw a team (like how India has been this series), while retaining the same set of players more or less. It also reduces the length of the tour and the pressure on touring players.

Just to add, I think there were some asterisks and question marks put against India's series win last time around which was attributed to Aus kissing Smith and Warner. I think this series has been sufficient in answering those to a good extent, and showed India did earn their hard fought win.

Not sure I'd go so far as to say that yet, given India could well still lose at Brisbane which would, if anything, prove the opposite.
