New Delhi. Virat Kohli needs only three wins to become India's most successful captain, and if the team is successful in cleaning the current series against Australia, then it will leave Mahendra Singh Dhoni behind and reach the summit in the captaincy too. India has played 43 Tests, led by Kohli, the world's number one batsman, in which he has won 25. India lost nine out of the remaining matches, and so many match draws left.
Right now Dhoni is India's most successful captain, with 27 victories in 60 matches. It means that now there is a need for only two wins to match Kohli. By winning the Adelaide Test, the Indian team has made a spectacular start of the four-match series against Australia and in such a scenario, the possibility of winning the series on Australian soil for the first time has increased. Before becoming the most successful Indian captain, Kohli can become the most successful Indian captain to win the match. Now this record is in the name of Sourav Ganguly under whose leadership India has won the most 11 Test matches on overseas soil, while Kohli is in second place in the list with 10 victories in Tests.
In the captaincy of Kohli, India has won five matches in Sri Lanka and two matches in the West Indies. In addition to his leadership, the team won one match in South Africa, England and Australia. He is the fifth Indian captain to win the match on Australian soil Under the leadership of Bishan Singh Bedi, India has won two matches in Australia and Kohli will like to record this record also in his name. In the captaincy of Sunil Gavaskar, Ganguly and Anil Kumble, India has won one match in Australia.
If Kohli can not become the most successful Indian captain in Australia, then he can make this record his name in 2019. According to the Future Tour Program (FTP), India will play eight Tests in 2019 after Australia tour. According to FTP, India has to play a Test from Zimbabwe in March and then to tour the West Indies for two Test matches in July after the World Cup in England in June. This will also be India's first series under the World Test Championship. India will host three Test matches for South Africa and Bangladesh in October-November next year.
Kohli, however, has to decide a long way to become the world's most successful captain. This record is named after South Africa Graeme Smith, who won 53 out of 109 Tests. Australia's Ricky Ponting (48 wins), Steve Waugh (41), West Indies Clive Lloyd (36), Australia's Allan Border (32), New Zealand's Stephen Fleming (28), West Indies' Viv Richards, and Dhoni Both 27) and Australia's Mark Taylor, England's Michael Vaughan and Pakistan's Misbah-ul-Haq (all three).
