Amazing achievement esp. considering 2018 was filled with tough tours of SA, Eng and Aus.

Well deserved .

The big one is "Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy", last 3 of them (2016-18) have been won by Indians. Only other time that has happened was when Clarke, Johnson, Smith won it 3 consecutive times.

testimony to the fact that we are no. 1 test side in this period

He will also win the Wisden leading cricketer of the year 3rd time.  Only Bradman and Sobers have won this award in 3 consecutive years.

Champion player. Potential ATG, already more than halfway there and only 30, the peak of a batsman. Leads by example. Fit as a fiddle.

 

I don’t buy this thing that he is playing in an era where bowling is weak. He has done plenty well against quality bowlers and/or in testing conditions.
