Kohli's men on course to break India's greatest Test feat

Under Virat Kohli's captaincy, Indian cricket team added another glorious chapter to their repertoire by becoming the third Indian outfit to stitch together a string of 16 undefeated matches on home soil. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jayant Yadav claimed three wickets apiece in the second innings to lead the hosts to a comfortable 246-run win in the second Test against England on Monday and left the home team just four-match short of equalling the all time record.

Since Alastair Cook's men had beaten MS Dhoni's team at Eden Gardens in December 2012 to take an unassailable 2-1 series lead, India have played 16 Tests at home without defeat, winning 13 and drawing three.

The record is 20 which was set in between 1977-1980 under the leadership of Bishan Bedi, Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath. While the period between 1960-1964 saw the Indians being unconquered in 16 consecutive Tests at home.
