India captain Virat Kohli has rued his team's misfortune, but admitted that South Africa were deserving winners as they showed a lot of character during their five-wicket win in the fourth ODI. "On hindsight, you have to give credit to South Africa. I think they played with a lot of character in the end, they pulled through.. they deserved to win," Kohli said after Saturday's weather-hit and curtailed ODI.
