Team India’s Australia jinx was broken by Ajinkya Rahane, who guided the team to a historic Border-Gavaskar Trophy victory in Australia. Despite being the official captain at the beginning of the series, Virat Kohli left for home following the ’36 all-out’ disaster in Adelaide. After that, Rahane took the helm for the final three games of the four-Test series. India emerged victorious in the series, winning 2-1. This series will always be regarded as the height of Rahane’s leadership skills as he wraps off his career.
