Ravindra Jadeja is the Man of the Match and also the Man of the Series

Jadeja: "Feels really good to be the No. 1 bowler. Really happy to be part of this No. 1 team. When I was batting, I was just thinking that I will take my time, but whatever Wade chirped from behind the stumps motivated me. To develop overall as a player was good to see in me. From one end Ashwin takes wickets, at time I take wickets from one end. So the pressure is always there. Good to bowl with him. Hopefully we will do well outside India as well. I am very confident now and I will try and make a hundred. It was a good wicket for fast bowlers because of the bounce and seam movement. Umesh and Bhuvi must have felt good about bowling first."

Rahul: This series has taught me a lot. After the Pune Test I could not play the big shots that was a big restriction. Nothing else matters than a Test series win against Australia. I took a few knocks, but all I was telling myself it was okay to a few hits for my team. The way Jinks came out and started hitting sixes was amazing. It is one of the best Test matches and Test series we have been part of.

Pujara: We had a fantastic series, especially after a disappointing first test. We wanted to win it 3-1, but we won it 2-1 and we are very happy. We have been having partnerships from the Bangalore Test match. I was telling KL that he was getting himself out, especially after the Bangalore test, rather than the bowlers getting him out. Not really (when asked if he wanted a break after a great season). I would still like to keep going if there were a few matches. I really enjoyed this particular season.
