Akhtar has been a staunch supporter of the batsman and has praised him on several occasions. Kohli too created captaincy history after India defeated Bangladesh by an innings and 130 runs at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
Most innings victory for an Indian skipper:
10: Virat Kohli
9: MS Dhoni
8: Mohammad Azharuddin
7: Sourav Ganguly
Indian opener Mayank Agarwal and the bowlers helped India rattle the Bangladesh batting line-up inside three days to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series.
This is India’s sixth consecutive victory for India in the longest format. The host will now take on Bangladesh in the historic Day-Night match in Eden Gardens, Kolkata from November 22.
