Kohli to surpass Dhoni's captaincy record
Kohli would be leading Team India in his 47th Test match as captain. Having already won 26 of them he's just one behind MS Dhoni's record of 27 Test wins in 60 games. With 27 Test wins, Dhoni is the most successful Indian captain in the longest format of the game.
Kohli couldn't just equal Dhoni's record but also surpass his predecessor if Team India manage to beat the hosts in the two games.
Successful Test captains for India in Tests
MS Dhoni leads the table with 27 wins in 60 matches.
Sourav Ganguly with 21 wins in 49 matches.
Mohammad Azharuddin with 14 wins in 47 matches.
Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi with 9 wins in 40 matches.
Kohli eyes Ricky Ponting's record
Kohli scored two centuries in the ODI series against the Windies and looking at the phenomenal form he's in one believes that the Indian captain would slam a couple more in the four innings.
The explosive batsman has slammed 18 Test tons as captain and if he manages to notch up at least one century then the Indian batting mainstay would equal Ricky Ponting's record of 19 Test centuries as captain.
If he continues to maintain his prime form and slams a couple of centuries in the series, then Kohli might just leapfrog Ponting.
South Africa's Graeme Smith leads this chart with 25 Test centuries in 109 Tests as captain, most by any. Smith has also slammed 17 centuries in 56 overseas Tests.
