Virat Kohli is not far behind Dhoni in Tests. With 20 wins from 33 games, he is already the third most successful Test captain in Indian history. He needs only eight more wins to overtake Dhoni and become India's best ever captain in the longest format of the game.

Kohli has a win percentage of 64.81 (second best in the world after Steve Waugh) and if he remains the captain for another six to seven years, he will end up breaking Graeme Smith's record for most wins (53) as a captain in Tests.

In ODIs, Kohli has 33 wins from 43 games. He has the best win percentage as captain in ODI history (min. 40 games as captain). Dhoni has 110 wins and Kohli needs another 78 to overtake the former skipper.
