Before Virat Kohli became the Test captain we remember… there was Australia 2014. 🇮🇳🔥
India arrived in Australia carrying questions.
Could they survive the pace?
Could they handle the bounce?
Could they stand up to Mitchell Johnson and the Australian attack?
Then came Virat Kohli.
In his very first Test as India’s captain, Kohli walked into Adelaide and scored 115 in the first innings. Australia won the Test by 48 runs, but something had changed. Kohli wasn’t intimidated. He looked Australia straight in the eye. (icc)
And then he did it again.
141 in the second innings.
The chase fell short, but Kohli’s message was loud enough.
Australia won the series 2–0, but India didn’t go down quietly. Kohli finished with 692 runs and four centuries, while Steve Smith scored 769. The final two Tests ended in draws, and after Melbourne, MS Dhoni announced his Test retirement, passing the red-ball captaincy fully into Kohli’s hands. (Wikipedia)
It wasn’t India’s series.
It wasn’t a trophy-winning campaign.
But looking back now, it feels like the beginning of something much bigger.
The aggression. The belief. The fearless batting. The birth of Test Kohli. 👑
Sometimes, a legacy doesn’t begin with a victory.
Sometimes, it begins with a fight. 🇮🇳❤️
