As a men’s Indian cricket team captain who has led the team in ODIs for more than 10 matches, he has the highest win percentage with 42 wins in 57 matches; win % of 75.89.

Similarly, as a captain of Test Indian cricket team who has led the team for more than 5 matches, he has the highest win percentage under his hat. Yes,
more than Ganguly and Dhoni.
Virat Kohli is already ranked among the most successful Indian cricket team captains. And he’s just 30 years old, with almost a decade in the game still left for him.
I think Virat Kohli has already proven himself as a captain of men’s Indian cricket team. And he has done that multiple times. So, he has already passed the litmus test across all three formats.
As an individual player, he certainly needs to be consistent and do even bigger things if he is to come at par with Bradman, Tendulkar, Lara and other legends. But then that’s not just for him. Every player in the team, for as long as they are in the team, they have something to prove as batsmen, bowler, and fielder.
Dislike him as much as you can, Virat Kohli is the best thing that has happened to Indian cricket team after MS Dhoni.
