India vs New Zealand: For the 1st time since 1889, 4 captains used in a 2-match Test series

India vs New Zealand: While Virat Kohli returns as India's captain at the Wankhede Stadium, Tom Latham leads New Zealand in place of Kane Williamson, whose recurring elbow injury has kept him out of the second Test.

With Virat Kohli and Tom Latham leading India and New Zealand respectively in the second Test at the Wankhede Stadium, the series between the two teams becomes the first two-Test rubber since as far back as 1889 to feature four different captains. While Kohli was always going to return to captain the team in the second Test, Latham replaced Kane Williamson, whose recurring elbow injury flared up after the first Test.

The last time it happened was when England toured South Africa for a two-Test series. The era was such that the series itself was never deemed to be a Test match at the time, only being recognised as one in later years. England's captain was supposed to be Aubrey Smith but he came down with a fever because of which they were captained by Monty Bowden in the second.
