The former Indian captain, who is regarded as one of the best batters of all time, has been a superstar in Test cricket. Kohli is often credited for reviving India's fortunes in the longest format and making the team a force to reckon with both at home and overseas.
He is also India's most successful Test captain of all time with 40 wins in 68 matches. Kohli had stepped down as the Test captain of the side in January this year before Rohit took charge of the team.
