Virat Kohli is India’s most successful Test captain
Virat Kohli is the most successful Test captain of India. He has won 40 out of 68 Tests under his captaincy. He is also the first Asian captain to win a Test series in Australia. After this, Team India also performed well in the series against England. India had lost only two matches at home under Kohli. He was defeated once by Australia and once by England. At the same time, in ODIs, Virat won 65 out of 95 matches for India under his captaincy. Even in ODIs, Virat is far ahead of legends like Dhoni and Ganguly in terms of win percentage.

Waiting for century for two years
Virat, who scored 70 centuries in 11 years in his international career, has been yearning for a century for the last two years. It is not that Virat’s form is bad and he is getting out on small scores continuously. Virat is playing half-centuries continuously. His average is also excellent and in many matches he has also been seen in good rhythm, but many times after starting well, Virat is suddenly getting out. Because of this, he is not able to play match winning innings.
This is the reason why he leave the captaincy of all three formats within about three months. Now it expected that Virat will be able to concentrate fully on his batting and play match-winning innings once again. His record against West Indies is excellent and his last century with the bat in ODIs was also against this team. In such a situation, it can be expect that Kohli will once again play a century in the ODI series starting from February 6.
