For India this was unremarkable yet invigorating, another series victory at home but with a collection of fresh faces. There were the two at the finish line in Ranchi: Dhruv Jurel, 23, two games in with the gloves and already a headliner; Shubman Gill, 24, still rectifying a middling Test record while classily ensconcing himself at No 3.
Then there is the 22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is averaging a touch under 70, has the remarkable Maidan-made origin story and raises his arms like Jude Bellingham because he knows he also has it all. These boys, bred on Indian Premier League glitz, can also dead-bat it like grandpa said to.
