Speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony, Kohli laid emphasis on “winning” and credited the younger lot for standing tall on their potential in pressure situations.
“All of us are really proud of the way we’ve played this series. I think the conversation we had was to always look to find ways to win. You don’t want to see what happened to Rohit [Sharma], but there were all these young guys playing well and handling the pressure.
“The guys are taking notice of it and they realize that the team needs 120% from them every time. Because only then you will find ways to win. That has been a massive change for us in the last two-three years. We have seen the results; we obviously won’t win everything and these victories give a lot more pleasure than the one-sided victories,” Kohli was quoted as saying during the presentation ceremony.
