5 stats to prove that Virat Kohli is the best test captain for India

New Zealand v India - 2nd Test: Day 5
Virat Kohli has been scoring centuries at will in test cricket

#3 Most Runs as Indian Captain

Australia v India - 4th Test: Day 3
Virat has already scored more runs than any other Indian captain and looks good for many more

We all know that Virat Kohli has been scoring runs in heaps, but to realize that he has already surpassed all the Indian captains in history is quite unbelievable. This list includes the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar.

Kohli has scored 3456 runs as captain from 35 test matches and now stands on the top spot. Dhoni, coming at second, took 60 matches for 3454 runs. Kohli’s dominance as a captain can be judged by the fact that the top 5 captains coming below him on the list have played much more matches than him as captain.
