Kohli Surpassed Dhoni To Become India's Most Successful Test Captain

To go past Dhoni, Kohli needed only 48 Test to set a new record.

"It's a by-product of the quality team we have here (becoming the most successful Indian captain). If we didn't have the bowlers we have, these results wouldn't have been possible. If you see these guys running in - Shami's spell today, Bumrah after having a small niggle, Ishant bowling his heart out, Jadeja bowling a long spell. Captaincy is just a C in front of your name. It's the collective effort that matters," Kohli said in the presentation ceremony.
