India became the first Asian team to win a Test series in Australia
Under Kohli's captaincy, the Indian team became the first Asian team to win a Test series in Australia. Apart from this, the team also registered some memorable victories elsewhere. Kohli's aggression in captaincy made everyone believe that the Indian team can win abroad as well and even when he was not in the team, his confidence dominated the team. During the last Test series in Australia in 2020-21, Kohli returned to India after the first match due to the birth of his daughter Vamika. But under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, India won the series 2-1 while battling injuries and the absence of key players.
Dhoni is at number two
Veteran captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni led India to victory in 27 Test matches, while under Ganguly's captaincy, Team India won 21 Test matches. Under Dhoni's captaincy, India lost 18 Tests, while under Ganguly's captaincy this figure was 13.
