India skipper Virat Kohli feels nothing has changed in the time that he got married, and that switching back to cricket won’t be very difficult.

"I was away for something which was much more important. Switching back to cricket was not difficult at all. Cricket is in my blood," said Kohli in the pre-departure press conference before leaving for South Africa.

On India not having won a series in South Africa, the skipper added, "I have no doubt in the ability of the team. We are on the right track."

Recalling the 2013 series, Kohli said, "Back in 2013 we were all very excited to play in South Africa. We were looking forward even then to take up the challenge and the bowling attack back then compared to now, what South Africa has was more experienced and we did really well against them, almost won the Test in Johannesburg and lost the one in Durban but we played some really good Test cricket.

“The bowling has come long way and the batting has come a long way and all the guys are much more experienced now but the hunger remains the same."
