"I have not changed my attitude as far as batting goes ...".
Well, Virat we love you for your batting and aggression on the sports. However, when you are leader keep in your mind you represent India and not just another player among 11. Good that you are learning from Dhoni few things and I also suggest you learn from other captains like Dravid and Sachin on how to respect umpire's decision no matter whether you are convinced of their their decision or not. That makes you a complete package that we all proud to say, "Virat is our future captain!".

Thats why Virat was send as captain and Dhoni. Thats why some the players are not sent but juniors. It is training workshop to test the bench strength. Nothing wrong in crying out load of a player first time captaining for the entire series and winning series 5:0. What gets you itching of his claim of stating what he has done?

Very true. However, No 1 team did not send their main team but mostly bench team. They may have one against ranked bottom but junior team India went there to beat them in their home ground at 5:0 is no mean achievement either. You are right in SA tour will test all the player including captain Dhoni.
Congratulations to Virat Kohli for leading the side in 5-0 whitewash for the first time by any Indian captain in abroad series. The more experimented with new players, more reward the new comers gave to Virat. What a wonderful Bench strength India has ? Still Virat committed a blunder by not giving a single chance to J&K spinner Parvez Rasool. This spinner was considered as a wonderful bowler by Australian Captain Michael Clarke. He considered Parvez Rasool as the best spinner he has ever faced in Indian team. This was the lone mistake committed by Virat though he is on the footsteps of Dhoni to become a world class captain one day. Sushil Kumar Saxena

Unfortunately Clarke is not our bowling coach or team manager. Any opposition team's appreciation should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Just dont play politics of crediting the person you are competing from behind scenes otherwise raina would be the captain. THE PErson YOU SHOULD REALLY credit is Mishra who was on revenge path. But politics in your brain like Gambhir disallows it !!!!!!!!!!!!cunning punju. You just copied all the moves where u could...time will tell if they work.

Raina? Let him first bat consistently. Only qualification for Raina these days to be in Indian playing 11 is, he is part of CSK, Srinivasan's one of the blue eye boys.

It shows that Kohli is moving in right direction. In cricket those player who publicly admit such mater makes them humble & more opportunity to learn from others & implement.
