Virat Kohli, who was named man of the series in India’s 5-1 win over South Africa, took several jibes at the reporters after the 6th and final ODI at Centurion on Friday. He boldly told the reporters that he wasn’t one to get carried away with all the media attention and adulation after India’s historic series win.
“One month back we were a very bad team. Now we are being asked these questions. We haven’t changed our mindset. Now whether this is the biggest win or no, whoever wants to analyze, write will do so,” Kohli said.
“I know for a fact that 90 percent people didn’t give us a chance after two Tests. I was sitting in the same room giving a press conference. So we understand where we’ve come from,” the sarcasm was not lost on anyone.
“I am not going to live in a dreamland right now and accept all the praise, sit here and feel good about this, because it doesn’t matter to me. Honestly it doesn’t. It didn’t matter when we were 2-0 down, it doesn’t matter now that we are 5-1 up because what matters is the respect in the change-room,” he added.
