The numbers and team approach prove that Virat Kohli is India’s best captain in Test matches. After Virat Kohli became the captain, he was able to make a lot of changes in the approach of the Indian team in Test Cricket. Virat Kohli is also the Test captain with the highest winning percentage for India. Virat Kohli led India in 68 Test matches and led India to 40 wins. The winning percentage of the Indian team under Virat is 58.82.

Virat Kohli’s Test captaincy was in December 2014. In the 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, Virat replaced the injured MS Dhoni as captain for the first time. Karan Sharma, who debuted for India in that match in Adelaide, is now talking about Virat Kohli’s approach. Virat scored a century in both innings and led the team from the start. India enter the field with a target of 363 runs on the final day. Karan Sharma says Virat should not try to tie the match when so many runs are impossible on the last day, we should play for victory.

“It’s always going to be special debating against Australia on Australian soil. Not many stars get this lucky. The atmosphere in the dressing room was great. Ravi Shastri was there. We needed 300 runs to win but Virat Kohli said we don’t need a final, we should try to reach this score.

This encouraged positivity among all the team’s players. It was a different approach. Each hero has a different approach. But when Virat says he can chase those runs, it gives the players a sense of which direction to go. It shows that your hero has a different plan,’ said Karan Sharma.

Although India lost the match, India’s batting under Virat received high praise. Dhoni later announced his retirement at the end of the series and Virat became the full-time captain of India. Later, the hero Virat Kohli managed to change the approach of the Indian team in Test Cricket and create a revolution.
