Team India batting star Virat Kohli was left in splits during a moment that occurred as the Men in Blue were celebrating their commanding ODI series victory over South Africa on Saturday in Vizag.

With Yashasvi Jaiswal cutting a cake at the team hotel and the veteran urging him to feed a piece to Rohit Sharma, he denied and hilariously said

"Mota ho jaaunga" ("I'll get fat").

The trio of Jaiswal, Rohit and Kohli demolished the Proteas in what was a series-decider on Saturday in Visakhapatnam. With only 271 to chase down and conditions getting easier for batting, Jaiswal struck an unbeaten hundred, while the two veteran batters smashed half-centuries to help the hosts reach the target only in 39.5 overs.

With his maiden ODI hundred, Jaiswal joined Kohli, Rohit, Suresh Raina, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul as the Indians to score a ton in all three formats of men's international cricket.

The 37-year-old Kohli, meanwhile, deservedly earned the Player of the Series award for peeling off 302 runs in three innings at 151, including two centuries and a fifty. The Delhi-born cricketer looked on course for a hat-trick of centuries but the opening stand of 155 between Rohit and Jaiswal didn't leave him enough runs to reach the landmark.

Nevertheless, the former Indian captain still played a swashbuckling unbeaten knock of 65 off 45 deliveries, laced with six fours and three maximums.

Earlier in the day, Team India broke their losing streak in terms of tosses, winning their first in ODI cricket after two years. Although Quinton de Kock scored a hundred and shared a 113-run partnership with skipper Temba Bavuma, South Africa lost too many wickets in the middle phase to leave themselves in a tough spot.

Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna shared four wickets each to bowl the Proteas out for 270 in 47.5 overs.
