India secured their first ever series win in South Africa across formats yesterday when they beat the hosts by 73 runs in the fifth ODI.
"After this series is wrapped up we'll sit down and think about where to improve. For now, 4-1 feels great. We want to win 5-1, for sure, but there might be a scenario for a few more guys to get a chance in the next match," Kohli said.
The performance of Kohli and wrist spinners Kuldeep Chahal and Yuzvendra Chahal stood out but the captain said the series win was the result of a team effort.
"I'm very pleased, it was another complete performance from us," he said referring to yesterday's win .
"They (South Africa) had the pressure of losing this series and we knew that. Ever since the third Test in Johannesburg, it's been a good time for us. It's been a collective effort to create history," he added.
Wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock too got injured in the middle of the series.
"Firstly, credit goes to India. Our batting wasn't up to scratch. You struggle to build momentum when you lose wickets. They've got their game plans nailed so credit to how they've played," said Markram.
Barring one game, the South African batsmen struggled against Indian spinners and that made a huge difference in the outcome of the series.
The final ODI takes place in Centurion on Friday.
