In the absence of regular skipper Rohit, Bumrah led an under-pressure Indian team to their most dominant win in Australia. "He is (a viable long term captaincy option) with any doubt," Pujara said on ESPN Cricinfo. "The way he has showed that in difficult circumstances when we had a tough series at home and when you are playing a first Test match in Australia and to put up a show like that."

While leaving, skipper Rohit and star India pacer Mohammed Siraj were seen taking selfies with the fans who were waiting outside the team hotel in Canberra.

The result pushed Australia to the second spot on the points table while India claimed the top position. A few days later, South Africa's triumph over Sri Lanka at home saw the Proteas surpass Australia to claim the No. 2 spot, pushing the men from Down Under to No. 3. While there still remain a few months before the WTC points table is finalised, the situation is already looking quite nervy.
