Test series victory in Australia is an emotional moment: Kohli
Sydney, Jan 7 (IBNS): Indian skipper Virat Kohli called the series win in Australia as an 'emotional moment' for him.
"This is the proudest moment of my career," Kohli said during a press conference.
"This moment is more emotional for me because I have seen how difficult it is to win here. We badly wanted to win a series away from home. We as a team feel absolutely complete now," he said.
He said his team has achieved something which none has done before.
Coach Ravi Shastri said: "This team now has an identity of its own."
Shastri said winning the Test series in Australia was an equally bigger achievement like World Cup (1983) and World Championship (1985).
"This is the truest format of the game," Shastri said.
India scripted their first Test series win in Australia on Monday.
The fourth Test match of the series was declared as a draw after the final day of the clash was washed out due to rains.
This is India's first Test series victory in Australia since they started touring the nation in 1947-48.
India won the current series 2-1.
