Kohli, 31, replaced Dhoni as test captain in 2014-15 and took over the limited-overs reins in early 2017, becoming India's all-format leader as well the team's batting mainstay.

Kohli led India to the top of the world test rankings in October 2016 where they remained until Australia replaced them this month. "I was always inclined to taking responsibility (but) becoming captain of India was not even in my wildest dreams to be honest," Kohli said.
