Virat Kohli labelled India’s Test series victory over Australia as his biggest achievement, though the star captain warned there is more to come from his side.
Day five of the fourth and final Test was washed out at the SCG in Sydney as India secured a 2-1 series triumph against beleaguered Australia on Monday.
Persistent rain meant the Sydney Test was drawn but top-ranked India still secured their first success in Australia, having already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
India were on track for another resounding victory before the rain set in, with Australia forced to follow on and still trailing by 316 runs after being bowled out for 300, and Kohli revelled in the result afterwards.
“Just one word to say, ‘proud’, to lead this team and it’s an honour and privilege. The boys make the captain look good. By far, this is my biggest achievement. It’s at the top of the pile.
“When we won the 2011 World Cup, I was the youngest member of the side. Saw everyone emotional there, but I didn’t feel it. Here, after coming three times, this win means something else. The series win will give us a different identity, and what we’ve been able to achieve… something to be proud of.
