I am very proud of the team, says Kohli

Stand-in skipper Virat Kohli was "proud of the team" and called it "commendable" after India fought back from the verge of elimination to cruise into the final of the Tri-nation ODI series as table toppers here.
He said the two big wins after as many defeats showed the character of the team.
"To bounce back like this and finish top of the table is a commendable effort. I am very proud of the team," a beaming Kohli said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Kohli was happy that the team showed a lot of character in making such a strong comeback in the tournament.

"We have shown a lot of character. When three good teams are playing in the tournament, anything can happen. We were never bothered about the rain delays. Our performance showed what happens when one executes their plans properly."
The young captain said that when he was involved in a 49-run partnership with Rohit Sharma, he didn't want to take any undue risks.

"When I and Rohit were playing, we just wanted to play ourselves in. It paid in the end, because we had wickets in hand, and it worked in the D/L calculations. Then the bowlers responded beautifully. Full credit to them," Kohli said yesterday.

Man of the match Bhuvneshwar Kumar termed the pitch at the Port of Spain as the "most helpful so far" that he had ever bowled on.
"It's important to hunt in pair and pitch the ball in right areas. It worked well for me and I am proud that I have performed well for my country," the UP seamer said.
