Virat Kohli has had a brilliant time while captaining the Indian team in Test cricket so far.

His first few Tests as skipper didn’t exactly go to plan as India failed to get a win in the first four matches, but after a shaky start, Kohli got his first win as captain in the second Test of a series against Sri Lanka at Colombo in 2015.

Since then, there has been no looking back as he currently holds the third-best winning percentage of all time as captain in Test cricket (minimum 10 Tests). If you push the minimum criterion to 20 Tests, then only Steve Waugh is above Kohli on the list.

Thus far, the Delhi batsman has captained the Indian team in 27 Tests – winning 17, losing three and drawing seven. India are also currently the number one Test side in the world which is another feather in Kohli’s hat.

Despite possessing such a fantastic record so far, Kohli will know that his biggest test will come when India play more series outside Asia as that has been an area the Indian team haven’t performed too well in the past.

Only six out of the 27 Test matches that Kohli has captained in so far have come outside Asia, with him winning two of those matches – both against the West Indies.

According to the International Cricket Council’s Future Tours Programme, India are scheduled to travel to South Africa, England, and Australia over the next 18 months which will definitely throw more light on Kohli’s captaincy.
