Feb.16 (CRICKETNMORE) - Disciplined bowling and unbeaten century by skipper Virat Kohli helped India outplay South Africa by eight wickets in the sixth and final One-day International (ODI) at the Supersport Park here on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Virat Kohli won the Man of the match as well as Man of the series award. He was very happy with the team's performance in the series and gave credit to his team and wife for this success. He shared his views during post match conference:  <\/p>\r\n\r\n

On Victory in 6th ODI and Series<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

It was a day where I felt really good. Last game I wasn't in the right mindset. Today I was feeling really good. Just decided to start timing the ball. Beautiful place to bat under lights. That was the whole idea of bowling first. They had to try something. I like setting up for the short ball as well. If I get into good positions, I feel like I can get boundaries off those short balls. It was a blessing to get so many short balls up front. They kept bowling short. In the day it was really slow. At night time the ball came on beautifully. It's been a roller-coaster tour till now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

People who contribute off the field, they deserve a lot of credit as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

About his Wife<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n

My wife who keeps me motivated deserves a lot of credit. She's been criticized a lot in the past. But she's one person who's kept me going throughout the tour. You want to lead from the front with your performances. It's a wonderful feeling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

About Future<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

I got 8-9 years left in my career. I want to make the most of it. Want to train as hard as I can. It's a blessing from God that I'm healthy. I'm getting to play for my country. I get to captain my country. It's an honour. I just look at it that way. I just keep my head down so I can give 120% for the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

About Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The team has shown a lot of character. Especially those two young spinners. They deserve a lot of credit for the series win. They've been so brave and outstanding. They've come back from Johannesburg superbly. Really happy with the whole bunch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On South Africa Tour<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Three T20Is to go, tour is not over yet. The first two Tests we weren't happy with ourselves. Couldn't take the game to the opposition. Didn't take a backward step since Johannesburg. I was here, having lost the series, and speaking to you. And now I'm here, having won the series, and speaking to you. Been a great turnaround. Boys can be proud of their efforts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
