And with the win in the first test in Dominica, Virat added another feather to his wing. He has gone past the former Indian captain, MS Dhoni, in terms of most international wins in his career. Dhoni, who has captained India in three ICC titles, has been part of 295 wins.
On the other hand, Virat has been involved in 296 wins now, which is the second highest for an Indian player. Sachin Tendulkar holds the record with 307 international wins. Meanwhile, the test between India and the West Indies will also be the 500th international match for Virat Kohli.
In his international career, he has played 110 tests, 274 ODIs, and 115 T20Is and has made more than 25000 international runs combined in all three formats. Sachin played in most international games.
