"It is only because of Yuvraj that we are holding this trophy," Tendulkar said.
Asked about the vintage Tendulkar on show during the series, the Mumbaikar said, "It was a pretty good series. I played some big shots in the second match. In the first game also I played as the situation demanded. I was striking the ball well."
On the bigger challenges ahead, he said, "The England series will be a tough tour. We have got a wonderful start with this series win and the conditions here will also help us in the England tour."
South African captain Jacques Kallis rued dropped catches but also derived some positives from the defeat.
"India bowled well with the new ball. Unfortunately, we put down some chances in the field. It was disappointing but we are playing after a long time and I'm happy that some of the youngsters have performed well under pressure," he said. |
