Is Virat Kohli a better captain than MS Dhoni in Tests?

#3 Captaincy style

At times, Dhoni went into a defensive mode, especially when playing in overseas conditions

Dhoni's overseas record as captain has not been very impressive. On numerous occasions, he allowed the match to drift away from winning positions because of his defensive field settings or by allowing the Indian bowlers to bowl defensive lines.

Kohli, who is known for his aggressive tactics, prefers to go for the kill instead of settling for a draw.

The last Test against South Africa was a good example of Kohli's captaincy, wherein he continued to keep the field up even when the score was 124/1, with South Africa requiring only 117 runs more for a win. In the end, it paid dividends for team India as they won the match.
