Very, very happy as a captain says Virat Kohli

Sept. 7 (CRICKETNMORE) - Indian Captain Virat Kohli guided his team to a superb 7-wicket victory in the T20I against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. With this victory, team India completed a clean sweep in all three formats of the game on the tour.

Kohli is delighted at such phenomenal performanc eof the team. Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, he said "I am very, very happy as a captain. The victory is very special, hasn't been done before (talking of the clean-sweep). Credit to all the hard work the boys have put in. Evidence of the fact how hungry the players are in Indian cricket, and how the bench strength is coming along so beautifully."

Speaking about his own innings in T20I, he said, "I look to back my strengths in T20 cricket, look to play good cricketing shots. It's something I've practiced very hard to mould my game to all formats, because I want to play all games for India. When you're two-down chasing 171, we knew it won't be easy. One good partnership will get us through. Manish was outstanding as well today. That partnership was very crucial. He stayed till the end and finished it off, credit to him."
