Speaking of the achievement Rohit said: “So guys it has been a great victory and a great series win after 25 years. To come out here in South Africa and win the series, obviously a great feeling. Let’s see what the captain has to say about it. It’s never easy in South Africa and we all know that but I thought throughout the series we handled the pressure really well. So anything, in particular, you (Virat Kohli) felt throughout the series that we have done well? Captain, how does it feel after winning (the series) after 25 years?”

He further elaborated, “I think in every game someone has put their hand up and performed for the team and the two young spinners and the way they have bowled and the way Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have shown experience and the way Hardik Pandya has bowled in the middle as well and batsman as well, given opportunities everyone stepped in every different game. So, I think that’s been the hallmark of this series.”

Kohli concluded by stating the importance of winning a series in the rainbow nation, he said, “Being 4-1 up in South Africa has never been easy. We have played here twice before and we know how tough it can be. So this team has come a long way, you know, it’s been a collective effort of the whole team and the management and we are really proud of it.”
