By Saurabh Sharma October 14, 2019 • 00:47 AM View: 910

Pune, Oct 14: After a dominant India crushed South Africa by an innings and 137 runs in the second Test here on Sunday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series to clinch the Freedom Trophy, skipper Virat Kohli said that his main goal is to put the team in a dominant position.

The ace batsman, arguably one of the best across formats, didn't score a century this year before the Pune Test, but atoned for his dip with a knock of sheer brilliance.
