TIL Desk Sports/ Virat Kohli, who has become India”s most successful captain in Test cricket, believes the feat he has achieved is a by-product of the quality of the team and the bowlers he has.
On Monday, India registered a thumping 257-run victory against the West Indies in the second Test at the Sabina Park, thereby taking Kohli ahead of former skipper M.S. Dhoni”s record of 27 wins in the longest format of the game.
In the 48 Tests under Kohli, India have won 28, lost 10 and drawn another 10. Dhoni had a win percentage of 45 as captain after winning 27, losing 18 and drawing 15 in 60 matches he led the team.
On the other hand, Kohli”s win percentage is 58.33 — the best among all other Indian captains in the format. Third on the list of most successful Indian captains is Sourav Ganguly who led the team to 21 wins, 13 losses and 15 draws in 49 matches.
