Virat Kohli's tenure as captain was defined by several moments where Team India overcame adversity to deliver a strong response to their rivals. His fiery personality and passionate approach made him an expert at inspiring his squad. We are highlighting four particular moments when India managed to win a Test match after starting the series on the back foot.
India vs Sri Lanka, Colombo 2015 2015
This was Kohli's debut series as the permanent captain. Things began roughly in the first Test at Galle, where the team failed to chase 176, getting bowled out for 112 as Herath's bowling proved too much to handle. But the team rebounded in the second Test in Colombo; KL Rahul's century helped India reach a first-innings total of 393. After the bowlers held Sri Lanka to 303, India declared their second innings at 325/8, challenging the hosts to score 431. The spin attack tore through the Sri Lankan lineup, bowling them out for 134 to secure a massive 278-run victory. India continued this momentum to win the third match, clinching the series 2-1.
