Cape Town, February 8: India skipper Virat Kohli heaped accolades on wrist spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav for spinning a web around South Africa in the ongoing one-day series.

Chahal and Yadav took eight wickets among them as India beat South Africa by 124 runs in the third ODI here on Wednesday (February 7).

"It's outstanding to see these two guys spinning a web around the opposition. There doesn't seem to be a way out of that at all. I don't have words to explain... But they are very brave in how they bowl and what field they want. So hats off to them," Kohli said.

"Every over they have asked two-three questions of the batsmen. That is outstanding, I have never seen that before. They believe in themselves and the team has faith in them. We are going to play the World Cup away from home, and I think that's going to be a massive X-factor for us," Kohli said.

But Kohli was guarded in his response when asked whether Chahal and Yadav could be part of the Test team as well.

"That's quite a bit away at this moment. But they are obviously making a strong case for themselves, bowling in these conditions and making breakthroughs in a manner which we haven't seen before," added Kohli.
