While talking about the achievement, Rohit Sharma 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, it’s 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?”

Indian skipper Virat Kohli was all praises for Rohit and the entire team.

“It feels amazing. Rohit’s contribution was outstanding. Wonderful feeling to create some history, winning after 25 years and everyone is really proud in the change room. It has been a collective effort and something we wanted to do badly as a team, so brilliant. Amazing,” said Virat Kohli.

“I think in every game someone has put their hands up and performed for the team. 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. 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,” the Virat Kohli concluded.
