Virat Kohli said he played at his best in two to three years as India clinched a 2–1 ODI series win over South Africa. The 37-year-old scored 302 runs, including two centuries and an unbeaten 65, at an average of 151, earning him the Player of the Series. In the final game in Visakhapatnam, he struck 65 off 45 balls — hitting three sixes — and then charged down the pitch to finish the chase. Kohli described the series as mentally freeing: “I feel really free in my mind … I don’t think I’ve played at this level for a good two-three years.” He also reflected on the internal struggles of being a seasoned batsman, admitting that self-doubt and pressure still affect him, but overcoming them has made him stronger and more balanced.
