India captain Virat Kohli added another feather to his cap when he became only the second Indian captain after MS Dhoni to lead India in 50 Test matches. On reaching the milestone and entering a select club of Test captains, Kohli was extended congratulatory messages from his peers, fans and the entire cricketing fraternity.

India leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also joined the bandwagon to laud Kohli's feat and in his trademark humorous fashion, decided to have fun in his congratulatory tweet for the skipper. Acknowledging his massive achievement, Chahal joked that he is just a few Test matches away from equaling his record.

“Congrats bhaiya! Only 50 more test matches than me,” he wrote.


Virat Kohli has a stellar record as India's Test skipper, registering 29 wins in his 50 games as skipper so far. Among all Indian Test captains, he has the best win percentage at a staggering 58. Under Kohli's captaincy, India have been the dominant number one ranked Test team, winning a record 10 consecutive bilateral series at home. Under Kohli's leadership, India registered a historic Test Series win (2-1) over Australia in their backyard in 2019.

India are currently taking on South Africa in a 3-match Test series at home. The hosts won the series opener at Visakhapatnam by a thumping margin 203-run margin.
