Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja won the player of the series award for the third time in his Test career. On all three occasions, he won the said award at home in the longest format of the game. Interestingly, the first two times, the all-rounder secured the award against Australia in 2017 and 2023 and repeated the feat in 2025, this time against the West Indies. In the absence of Ravi Ashwin, Jadeja led from the front with the ball and also contributed with the bat and was the deserved winner of the award.
