Virat Kohli dominated discussion when India touched down ahead of its tour of New Zealand a week ago.
He brought an imposing record, a big reputation and was seen as the largest threat from the world's No 2-ranked side.
However, as New Zealand has found out, there is more to this Indian team than Kohli.
His knocks of 43, 45 and 60 were quality, but by no means the difference between the sides.
With the five-match series comfortably wrapped up 3-0, the Indian captain has departed to be rested.
Taking wickets has been an issue for New Zealand - it has only managed nine in three matches - and there is more to that problem than one player.
India's openers have handled the Black Caps' bowlers with relative ease to set a solid platform for the rest of the innings.
In the six combined innings Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have played they have posted four half-centuries.
The other two were a 28 from Dhawan, off 27 balls, and the only genuine failure, Sharma's 11 from the first match.
Beneath that, Ambati Rayudu is staking a strong claim to take the still up for grabs No 4 spot.
He has passed 40 twice too, and also has two not outs to his name.
The Black Caps have barely been able to expose the order beneath that.
Only three other batsmen - once each - have been needed.
However, the combined 108 runs off 71 balls without a wicket does not make for good reading.
This is a classy Indian team and its superiority has been in more than just its superstar.
Indeed it has been just as dominant with the ball - despite also being without its best bowler in Jasprit Bumrah.
The New Zealand top order has crumbled and forms a stark contrast to India's.
Black Caps openers Colin Munro and Martin Guptill have reached double figures in only three of their combined six innings - scores of 13, 15 and 31.
Beneath them, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor have only passed 30 once each.
Across the board the Black Caps have managed just four half-centuries - the same as the two Indian openers.
So yes, India's best player is gone. The one everyone talked about and feared.
But his impact was no more than the rest of its top-order.
This Indian side has been far superior to New Zealand as a whole and battling the rest of the line-up remains no easy task.
Returning to the Black Caps' squad today are all-rounders Jimmy Neesham and Todd Astle, who come in for Ish Sodhi and Doug Bracewell.
