Indian captain Virat Kohli stands on the cusp of scripting a record for being the most successful Indian captain in Test history. A victory will also give India a 2-0 series win and 120 points – 60 each for a two-match Test series – in the World Test Championship.

Kohli had equalled Dhoni’s tally of 27 Test wins as captain when India thrashed West Indies by 318 runs in the first Test in the Sir Viv Richards Stadium at Antigua. A win in Jamaica will take Kohli’s number of Test victories as captain to 28 – the most by any Indian captain.

Kohli also has the best win ratio as Indian Test captain. The win rate of Virat Kohli in test matches is 57.44 % - The only Indian captain to have win-rate over 50% (min. 5 matches as captain)
