Top scorer of the series, Kedar Jadhav scored scored 232 runs in the three 50-over matches at an average of 77.33, including a hundred and a fifty. This marked his best showing in an ODI series.

With batsmen scoring big, the Indian bowler had to step up too. Jasprit Bumrah picked 5 wickets in the three T20s and helped India to victory with his tight-death bowling. Man of the series in T20s, Yuzvendra Chahal sent the batsmen packing in quick succession in the last match in Bengaluru. The 26-year-old picked six wickets in the T20 series decided including two wickets in a single over.
