The team management had signalled before the series that they were looking to move forward. Sticking to the commitment the Indian team chose to show faith in youngsters when some of the senior players were not available for the series. Those who were given the opportunity grabbed it with both hands and shone in this series. Players like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel looked impressive in their debut series whereas the likes of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal carried the batting order on their tender shoulders. This series has certainly given India some reliable young faces who will dominate world cricket in times to come.

Kuldeep Yadav is a different beast now

Apart from the exceptional performance from the youngsters another major positive for India in this series has been Kuldeep Yadav. The left-arm wrist spinner has truly proved himself as one of the prime spinners for India. He had to go through a tough phase but this team management steered by Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma has backed him and the wrist spinner has responded equally well. Going ahead it will be a sweet selection headache for the Indian team as Kuldeep is as deserving of a place in the playing XI as Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. 

Rahul and Rohit herald a transition

Another prominent positive from this series has been the brave and uncluttered decision-making from the team management commanded by coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma. After a shocking loss in the first Test, this duo kept things calm and did not let a sense of panic seep into the dressing room. They had to go through the non-availability of multiple key players but their unwavering faith in youngsters paid off in the end. At the end of the day, the environment in the dressing matters a lot and the partnership of coach and captain has ensured that the Indian dressing room remains a place that allows young players to thrive.
