Well, Kohli hasn’t reached the top of this list yet, but even this feat does not seem too far away. With the intensity and aggression that he shows on and off the field, Virat has been building a team which aims to win every match. This mindset of the team is reflecting in the stats as well.

Virat has captained India in 35 matches and won 21 of them, putting him equal to Sourav Ganguly in terms of number of victories, who had 21 victories out of 49 matches. Only MS Dhoni lies ahead of Kohli on this list, with 27 victories out of 60 matches. Going by current form of the team, Kohli will soon be the most successful captain for India ever.
