Top 5 Test wins under Virat Kohli

#2 Beat South Africa by 63 runs at Johannesburg, 2018

After two closely fought Tests, India found themselves at the wrong end of a 2-0 series scoreline in South Africa, and as usual, speculation was all over social media labelling Kohli's men mere flat track bullies. But the number one side in the world had different plans for the third Test.

On a difficult Wanderers pitch, India could manage only 187 runs, and it could have been fewer had it not been for Bhuvaneshwar Kumar's fighting 30 down the order against the five-front line pace attack of the Proteas.

He then turned up in India's first bowling effort to make the most of a venomous pitch, removing the openers cheaply and then the prized scalp of de Villiers with a curving in-swinger. Aided by Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah's pinpoint lines, South Africa could muster only a seven run lead.

However, in the second innings, skipper Kohli played an uncharacteristic gutsy knock along with Rahane, as both the batsmen got their gloves dirty for forty odd ugly runs each, but those runs eventually proved decisive.

Defending 241, India looked down and out of the contest with South Africa at 1/124, but Ishant Sharma plucked out the crucial wicket of Hashim Amla and that's when the dominoes started tumbling against the reverse swing of Shami. The last eight batsmen managed 22 runs between them, as India stunned the hosts to end the series on a fighting note.
