King Kohli — the captain who successfully led Indian Test cricket…
Virat Kohli played an immense role in taking Test cricket to the next level for Indian fans.
He tops the list of Indian players with the most runs as a Test captain:
- Virat Kohli – 5,864 runs (Average: 54.80)
- M.S. Dhoni – 3,454 runs (Average: 40.64)
- Sunil Gavaskar – 3,449 runs (Average: 50.72)
It might take several more decades for anyone to break King Kohli’s record.
Had he continued as captain a little longer, he may have become the most successful Test captain in the world — he currently holds the fourth spot.
In Test matches, when Virat is on the field, the opposition faces an intensity like fire..
Our captain Virat Kohli — the man who held the Indian Test team at the No. 1 spot for a record 42 consecutive months…
It’s hard to say whether we’ve seen a captain like him before — and whether we’ll ever see one again.
A successful leader, a fiery presence on the field, and a captain who never backed down when it came to standing by his players…
Virat Kohli, who came to symbolize Test cricket itself, has set a benchmark that will be a massive challenge for any future Indian captain to surpass.
Watching Test cricket without Virat will truly be difficult…
Just his presence on the field struck fear into the opposition — and all of that, we’re now going to miss. In the 93-year history of Indian Test cricket, Virat Kohli stands alone with a monumental achievement — the most double centuries by an Indian.
He tops the list with 7 double centuries, a feat unmatched by any other Indian batter.
Out of those 7 double centuries, India won 6 times, and the remaining match ended in a draw due to rain.
Here’s the list of Indian players with the most double centuries in Test cricket:
- Virat Kohli – 7
- Virender Sehwag – 6
- Sachin Tendulkar – 6
- Rahul Dravid – 5
- Sunil Gavaskar – 4
As of now, it’s uncertain whether any current player will be able to break this record. Still, it’s our hope that every great record inspires the next player to rise and surpass it.
Love you, Virat Kohli ❤️❤️
We’ll truly miss your fierce energy on the field.
