A thread of records which king @imVkohli shares with 4 or less legends.

1. Players to score 600+ runs in a 3 test match series.

20+ test centuries as a test skipper.

Only Greame Smith(25) has more centuries than King as test skipper and he played twice number of matches

Only four captains in test history has 60+ avg and King is one of them. (Min 20 matches)

Bradman -101.52

S. Smith - 70.37
Williamson- 62.82
King - 60.70

Only two cricketers have 20+ centuries as ODI skipper.

Punter and the king

Only two cricketers have scored twin centuries on test captaincy debut(King and G. Chappell) and only three cricketers have two centuries in their first two innings as test skipper. The great Vijay Hazare is an elite addition to this elite club.

Players to have most 50+ scores as captain in decreasing order

Players with 50+ average as odi skipper in decreasing order. (50<matches)

Virat -73+
ABD - 63+
MSD- 53+

End of the list

Players with 50+ man of the matches in international cricket.

Master(76)
Jayasuriya(58)
King(57)
Kallis(57)

And I think there is no need to mention the difference in number of matches

Pics of players with more man of the tournaments awards than The king.

Smith and Virat are only visiting captains with 800+ runs In a single tour. King has done this 2 times

Smith scored 937 runs in Eng.but if we remove his 134 runs against the WI in odis than king holds the record for most runs for a visiting captain against a single opposition
