Virat Kohli and his Test Captaincy so far

Kohli has proved to be an efficient captain in Tests

New Zealand in India 2016

NZ-Spin

Go! Spin! Surrender!

Well, this is the motto of any visiting team in India that does not belong to the subcontinentahead of a Test series. New Zealand was whitewashed 2-0 on 2012 under the captaincy of Dhoni. This time, they brought a team with a combination of some old and some new faces.

The organizers avoided the direct dusty spin theory due to the pandemonium created during the tour of South Africa previous year. Still, the Indians appeared invincible at home. They fared in every department, and Kohli led the team perfectly with the bat.

Another whitewash over the Kiwis set further milestones for captain Kohli. India attained the number 1 spot in the ICC Test rankings with this victory.
