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

#1 Highest Win-Loss ratio as Captain

3rd Sunfoil Test: South Africa v India, Day 4
Virat has been pushing his team to play with a mindset to win every match and it shows in the stats

While there are many legendary players who are remembered for their captaincy, there is a special place in cricketing history for the captains who created ruthless teams. An important metric to measure this is the Win-Loss ratio.

Virat Kohli currently has a win-loss ratio of 4.20, with 21 victories against only 5 losses. The next best for India is Sourav Ganguly’s 1.61 (21 wins to 13 losses). In fact, of all captains worldwide with more matches than Kohli, only Steve Waugh holds a better Win-loss ratio at 4.55, and there is no need to describe how good the Australian team under his leadership proved to be. Hopefully, this Indian team also achieves similar records under Kohli’s able leadership!
