My best achievement, says Virat Kohli after historic win

Sydney, Jan 7 (CRICKETNMORE): After India scripted history by winning its first series on Australian soil, edging past the hosts 2-1, an elated Virat Kohli termed the victory as his "best achievemen

"Only one word to say, I'm proud. To lead these players is an honour and a privilege. By far this is my best achievement. Has to be on top of the pile," he added.

Kohli also showered praise on Cheteshwar Pujara, who was instrumental in India's historic win with three tons in the series and a total of 521 runs.

"Want to give a special mention to Pujara. Especially after the kind of series he had the last time he came here. He's one guy always willing to accept things. Takes it in his stride and works on his game," the Indian skipper expressed.

"He (Pujara) is the nicest man around. Special mention to Mayank Agarwal too. To come in on Boxing Day and play like that against a high quality attack in their conditions speaks volumes of the belief he has," Kohli added.

Meanwhile, Pujara, who was adjudged player of the match and series, said: "It's a great feeling for all of us. We've been working really hard to win a series overseas. And especially doing it in this country, it's never easy."
