Jasprit Bumrah enjoyed the form of his life in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.

The Indian pacer was the Player of the Series with 32 wickets.

Bumrah is the sixth Indian to receive the award in an Australia tour.

In 1985, Kapil Dev and Krishnamachari Srikkanth jointly achieved the feat.

Kapil Dev had 135 runs and 12 wickets in the three-match Test series.

Srikkanth finished fourth on the scoring charts with 291 runs.

Sachin Tendulkar struck 278 in three Tests to claim the award in 1999.

In 2004, Rahul Dravid was named the best player, registering 619 runs.

Cheteshwar Pujara was the architect of India’s historic win in Australia.

The top-order batter scored 521 runs to become the Player of the Series.
