Virat Kohli has an incredible record as a Test captain for India and is the country's most successful Test captain. He led India in 68 matches and India emerged victorious in 40 out of them. His win percentage is 58.82.
Just like Kohli and Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly's inspired captaincy changed India's mindset in early 2002. Under his leadership, the Men in Blue won the famous Natwest series in 2002 and also reached the final of the 2003 ODI World Cup.
