The tour from an Indian stand point proved what we have always suspected - Cheteshwar Pujara is certainly the best prospect to fill the future void in the Indian test team middle order after Sachin, Rahul, and VVS depart. But his performance as a captain/leader will have to be questioned. Based on the Cricinfo reports one cannot make a definitive conclusion but it is clear that there was no inspired leadership. Apart from him, we have a decent young opener in Mukund who could play both tests and ODIs and a young wicket taking fast bowler Jaidev Unadkat.
Abhimanyu Mithun should consider himself lucky to tour SL with the senior team. Dhawal Kulkarni and Ajinkya Rahane didn't put together consistent performances and left a lot to be desired. Shikar Dhawan missed out on an opportunity to seal an ODI spot. Hopefully the rest of the squad gained personally from this experience.
On the whole it was a mediocre tour from the Indian stand-point unlike some of the previous A-tours where the team has excelled.
