Indian skipper Virat Kohli added yet another feat to his already glittering captaincy record on Saturday after the host inflicted a crushing innings and 130 run defeat over Bangladesh in the Indore Test to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series at the Holkar stadium.
Kohli surpassed Mahendra Singh Dhoni's record of most innings victories as a result. Under his captaincy, Kohli had lead India to 10 innings wins while Dhoni had registered 9 as India captain. Mohammed Azharuddin is next with 8 innings wins followed by Sourav Ganguly with 7.
Kohli also equalled former Australia skipper Allan Border's tally of 32 Test wins and is now placed joint-fourth on the list of skippers with most victories in the longest format. Former South Africa captain Grame Smith is on top with 53 wins from 109 matches. Ricky Ponting is second with 48 wins in 77 matches while Steve Waugh is third with 41 wins in 57 matches.
This was also the third instance when India registered three successive innings wins on home soil.
