The most loved and popular celebrity couple of India, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma and Indian skipper Virat Kohli tied the knot after dating for over four years, in Italy last year.

After winning the match, Kohli said that the six-wicket victory in the first one-dayer against South Africa will give his side the momentum in the remainder of the six-match series.

“First match of the series is important. We wanted to take the momentum of the (third) Test win into this and when we restricted South Africa to 270 on this sort of a pitch, we were happy,” Kohli said.

When Virat was asked about his maiden century in Africa, he simply said: “Yeah it was quite special”.

The 29-year-old cricketer also appreciated the efforts of ‘dependable’ Ajinkya Rahane and said, “Jinx (Rahane) is a top class player. We understood fast bowling was going to be a big factor in this tour. He was superb, he took on the fast bowlers,” said Kohli who was adjudged man of the match.

Visitors have taken the lead of 1-0 in the on-going six-match ODI series.
