Virat Kohli became the second Indian captain after MS Dhoni to lead India in 50 Tests when he walked out for the toss against South Africa in the 2nd Test at Pune.

Taking over the reins from MS Dhoni 2014, Virat Kohli has helped India win 29 Tests under his leadership with a win percentage of 58.00 (third-best after Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting for captains who have played at least 50 Tests). He has the most number of wins as captain, bettering the second-best (MS Dhoni) by two wins.

Electing to bat first, Kohli scored a majestic double ton on the second day to join the illustrious club of Stephen Fleming, Steve Waugh, and Alastair Cook to have scored a ton in the 50th Test as captain. He is still going strong at 200* as of this writing. This was Kohli’s 26th century in Tests and 69th overall as he continues to dominate bowlers.
