An unwanted record for Kohli

The best thing about Virat Kohli is that he loves challenges and responsibilities. From the time he has taken over the captaincy in Tests, Team India has registered many series victories. Although there are various second thoughts about Kohli's abilities as a captain, he is gradually proving everybody wrong. His contributions have time and again helped Team India to dominate the opposition.

Unfortunately, the overseas fortunes for Virat Kohli as a captain still remain same as other Indian captains in the past. Although he has richly contributed with his bat, the team hasn't been able to register a series victory outside the subcontinent.

His fighting century at Perth was another such instance where it didn't help India win the Test match. He now holds the record for most Test centuries (6) in a losing cause. The previous record was held by the West Indian great Brian Lara (5 centuries) and the legendary Steve Waugh (4 centuries).
