New Delhi [India], Feb 15: The two team return to Centurion cricket ground, the venue where the tour began, to play the final game of the ODI series. With the series already in India’s pocket and history created after 25 years, India will be not be under pressure of winning again. But on the other hand, South Africa will be waiting to prove that they can play the Indian spinners by winning the sixth ODI on Friday.

Virat Kohli-led team India won the fifth ODI at Port Elizabeth by massive 73 runs and took an unassailable 4-1 lead in the series. In doing so, India scripted history by winning their first ever bilateral series in South Africa. After losing the Test series by 2-1, the comprehensive win in the ODI format has not only boosted the morale of the Indian camp but has also taken India to No.1 spot in ICC team rankings.

But for Kohli, it is not enough. In a post-match presentation after the match, the Indian skipper made it clear that he will be gunning for victory in the final ODI of the series which is set to be played at Centurion on Friday. “We want to win 5-1 for sure, that doesn’t change, but there’ll be a chance for others to step in as well. The first priority is to win and we’ll do anything to do that again,” Kohli said.
