Siraj took had a match haul of 7 wickets, with 6 for 70 in the first innings, while Akash finished with 10 wickets in the match (4 for 88 and 6 for 99), their performances proving crucial to India's historic win.

From Rajkot's maidans to cricket's grandest arenas, Cheteshwar Pujara carved a niche as the bedrock of India's Test side. He is one of only 14 Indians to feature in more than 100 Tests, and his innings often defined India's most memorable triumphs.
