Virat Kohli behind Waugh, Ponting in elite captaincy list

New Delhi, Oct 14: India skipper Virat Kohli is achieving one milestone after another and the ace batsman, arguably one of the best across formats, who didn't score a century this year before the Pune Test, atoned for his dip with a knock of sheer brilliance. Kohli slammed a record-breaking unbeaten 254 in the first innings -- his career best in Test cricket.

Recently, Kohli had become the second India captain to lead the side in 50 Tests. The victory in Pune was Kohli's 30th win in his 50th Test as India skipper, giving him the third best success rate after Steve Waugh (37 wins after 50 Tests) and Ricky Ponting (35 wins after 50 Tests) for any captain after 50 matches.
