Interesting info: Ganguly being the best and MS being the worst Indian test captains.
Compared to these men, Kohli has had a superb run so far. However, one captain has set an example Kohli's team is yet to beat. Sourav Ganguly has been widely considered the captain who instilled a belief in the team that they could compete anywhere. Ganguly's team tripped up a rampaging Australia at home, drew in England, drew in Australia, and won in Pakistan. He was handed a poor team - 1411 points - that was scarred by a 0-3 washout in Australia, not to mention the match-fixing crisis. By the time he left, India, at 1539 rating points, were rated well above average. Dravid, despite Test wins in England and South Africa, lost Tests in India, and so dropped some points, but the team rose under Anil Kumble.
Who is the greatest Indian Test captain of all?
