India vs South Africa 2018: 5 takeaways for India from the ODI series

#1 The Kohli juggernaut just rolls on

This man just can't stop scoring

The cricketing world must surely be running out of superlatives to describe the performances of this man. He single-handedly snatched the Man of the Series trophy from the hands of the two young wrist-spinners with a record-breaking 558 runs in this series, at a scarcely believable average of 186 and a strike rate of almost 100. Coming into the series with no ODI 100s in South Africa, he scored 3 in 6 innings, taking his total count to 35. He's well and truly after Sachin's record of 49.

Captaincy is only spurring him on to greater heights, as evidenced by his numbers while leading the nation. It almost felt as if he were having an extended net session in the middle, as he was in complete control throughout this series. He has taken ODI batting to different heights, and he has left fans wondering what the landmarks that he will scale next are. Maybe an ODI double hundred to go with the 6 he has scored in Tests?
