Kohli attributed his success to wife Anushka Sharma, for being a pillar of strength during tough times.

"People who are close to me deserve a lot of credit. My wife has kept me going throughout the tour. I am grateful for that. Obviously, you want to lead from the front, and that's a wonderful feeling."
