I can put this item to rest. Virat Kohli, in his 40th Test match, led an side unchanged from the previous one!
Virat Kohli has captained India in17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 Test matches*. The most incredible fact that I can report from this is that India has never fielded the SAME playing 11 in consecutive matches under his watch. Every match has featured a change from the previous one.
Update: Sourav Ganguly once had a 29 Test streak like this as captain. That's done and dusted with now!
India has lost only 8 Tests under Kohli. I guess there is some method to his madness. His overall record sits at - 39* Tests captained, 22 wins, 8 losses, 9 draws.
For comparison:
MS. Dhoni: 60 Tests, 27 wins, 18 losses, 15 draws
Sourav Ganguly: 49 Tests, 21 wins, 13 losses, 15 draws
P.S. Yes, I know that injuries have forced his hand on multiple occasions.
