Run machine Virat Kohli has become India's most successful captain in Test cricket, but for him he could achieve this feat only because of the quality of team and the current bowlers he has. And as far as the ICC World Test Championship is concerned, Team India is sitting on top of the table with 300 points after six wins on the trot.

Kohli on Friday became the fastest batsman to 5000 runs as captain by completing the feat in 86 innings. On Day 2 of the ongoing Pink Ball Test against Bangladesh when Kohli amassed his 41st international century as captain, he equalled Ricky Ponting’s record of most number of centuries as a captain.

The case with India now is if one batsman fails, another takes the responsibility and somehow if the score on the board isn't so convincing, it is the bowlers who come to the rescue. The dominance of India has been consistent in all the recent series and is a by-product of the team effort. Touchwood.

Team India And The Celebrations

Over the recent past, there is one more thing Team India is loved for, maybe they have matched the West Indians. Yes, you all guessed it right- the success and post-match celebrations.

Almost all the players are very expressive, and why shouldn't they be when the captain himself is setting an example. Be it Kohli, Ishant, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant or even the ‘good boy’ Pujara, they share such a bond that they don’t shy away from showcasing their moves along with the fans. Making the most of it, at times fans come up with hilarious morphed videos showing Indian team celebrations on popular Bollywood songs. A case in point is the Bala celebration below where Kohli is leading the team.

Prior to that, a similar video went viral on social media platforms after India defeated Pakistan in an ODI match. The entire team (morphed) which included MS Dhoni is seen dancing to the tunes of Bajne De Dhadak Dhadak from Bajirao Mastani.

But there is this one original video of team celebration which actually set the internet ablaze. The video showed Team India players shaking a leg on 'Yeh Mera Dil' and 'Mere Desh Ki Dharti' after becoming first Asian country to win a Test series in Australia against the Aussies. Here’s a must watch video for all.
