Captain Virat Kohli on his 2/2 Test series wins

 
Beating Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka after 26 years, then ending South Africa's nine-year unbeaten overseas run, including bowling them out for 79 – the lowest by any Test team against India. Virat Kohli's 2/2 Test series wins as captain have in simple terms been – ‘epic'.

Certainly it should, especially the win in Sri Lanka, where India came from 0-1 down in a three-Test series to win it 2-1. It put on show the character of Kohli's team – that they learn from their mistakes, don't repeat those and get back on their feet with an even stronger will to fight.

Even against South Africa at home, India had lost both the T20I and ODI series.
