India's win against the West Indies  in the Antigua Test also gave Virat Kohli his 27th Test victory as skipper. Kohli equaled the record of MS Dhoni for most wins by an Indian skipper in Test cricket.

The victory against West Indies was Kohli's seventh as captain of Indian Test side outside Asia. Former Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq holds the records for winning most Tests as captain outside Asia among Asian captains with 8 wins. Ganguly is at the third place with 6 wins.

The victory on Sunday is Kohli's 100th win as Team India captain. Kohli is only the third Indian besides Mohammed Azharuddin and Dhoni to register 100 international wins as skipper.
