His winning rate is the highest of any Indian skipper to date, making him one of Team India’s most successful commanders. Virat has a fantastic legacy to look back on, from his captaincy records to his batting records, even though he may be taking a vacation from cricket. Check out Virat Kohli’s five unbeatable records as we celebrate his legacy.

Wicket on the 0th ball

Virat Kohli has a bowling record that is remarkably unlikely to be beaten, as bizarre as that may sound. Many people have been successful in getting a wicket off of their first career ball. On his very first T20I delivery, however, Virat Kohli took a wicket. The first delivery from Kohli was down the legside. Dhoni stumped Kavin Pietersen, who was outside of his crease. However, the umpire determined that it was a wide ball, hence Kohli was given a wicket off of an illegal delivery.

Seven double centuries as Test captain

As a Test cricket captain, Kohli holds the record for the most double centuries. Between 2016 and 2019, he slammed as much as seven double tonnes. Brian Lara, a former captain of the West Indies, comes in second with five Test double centuries.

Fastest Indian Captain to score 5000 ODI runs

In his capacity as India’s captain, Kohli became the batsman to reach 5,000 runs the quickest. He reached the milestone in the three-match ODI series against Australia on January 19, 2020, in Bengaluru. Kohli smashed Dhoni‘s previous record of 127 innings to achieve 5,000 runs as captain in just 82 innings. Azharuddin and Ganguly are the only two Indian captains with 5,000 or more runs in ODIs besides Kohli and Dhoni.
