South Africa vs India 2018, 6th ODI: Things which went right for the visitors

#4 Virat Kohli's captaincy

While South Africa floundered in the absence of their regular skipper Faf du Plessis, India flourished in the ODI series under the leadership of Virat Kohli.

The 29-year-old, who possesses excellent mental strength, orchestrated a turn-around for his team after they were beaten 2-1 in the three-match Test series.

Chasing 205 on Friday, Kohli brought up his 35th ODI ton as India crossed the finish line in 32.1 overs.

Earlier Kohli had won the toss and invited South Africa to bat first, he deployed his bowlers at the right times and continued to pile on the pressure on the hosts' batsmen by keeping their scoring rate under check and claiming wickets at regular intervals, eventually dismissing them for 204 in 46.5 overs.

Kohli, who became the first Indian skipper to win an ODI series in South Africa, led by an example and with a series tally of 558, recorded most runs by a captain in a bilateral ODI series.
