During his very first Test match as a captain (at Adelaide, 2014) Kohli announced his approach of play to win to the world. He went on record to say that he always plays to win and being a man of his word he has maintained that approach till date. Kohli's team never plays for a draw which was evident in recent contests against South Africa and England.

There is a bit of criticism of this approach as some experts say that it is fine to go for a win, but, it is also important to know the art of not losing a test match.
