#4 4000 runs in Test matches as a captain
If there was one place where Virat was not successful as a Test batsman, it was England. He had a horrible run scoring 134 runs in five Tests at an average of 13.4 in 2014. Virat resurrected his batting record in the UK by scoring an amazing 593 runs at an average of 59.3 with two hundreds and three fifties. Had Virat won a couple of tosses or probably got more support from his fellow batsmen, India would have surely triumphed in the series.
Virat broke Brian Lara's record for the fastest to 4000 runs as a captain, where the great man had taken 91 innings to achieve the same milestone. Virat completed 4000 runs as a Test captain in a mere 65 innings to go with his stellar captaincy record. In 43 matches as a Test captain for India, the southpaw has scored 4270 runs at an average of 63.73 with 17 hundreds and nine fifties.
