Talking about the achievements in his Youtube channel, he said, "We went to Australia and drew the series there. We went to Pakistan and defeated them. In India, we drew one series and lost one series to Australia. And Sourav Ganguly's team even drew the series in England. It was a fairly good team, a team that taught us how to win abroad."

"Virat Kohli's team has defeated Australia in their home conditions, the only team to have done so in Indian cricket history. But they lost in South Africa and lost quite badly in England. In South Africa, they came close but lost the series 2-1."
