India vs New Zealand, WTC final: Virat Kohli overtakes MS Dhoni to set THIS new record

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to field first in the much-awaited World Test Championship (WTC) final against India on Saturday. 

As Virat Kohli walked out for toss with New Zealand's Kane Williamson at The Ageas Bowl in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, he surpassed MS Dhoni's record of leading the Indian team in most Test matches. The World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand is the 61st match for Kohli as India's captain in the longest format of the game, now a record. Dhoni retired from Test cricket in December 2014 after captaining India in 60 matches. Kohli is also the longest-serving Test captain for any Asian country with Sri Lanka's Arjuna Ranatunga and Pakistan's Misbah-ul-Haq behind him as they captained their respective teams in 56 Test matches each.
