IPL 2016: Virat Kohli has gone past MS Dhoni’s T20 record

Virat Kohli is going through a purple patch in his career. He is arguably world’s best batsman, across all three formats. In the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2016), Virat Kohli has gone past MS Dhoni as the captain with most successive appearances for his team in a Twenty20 match. Kohli has now led his IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 63 successive matches. Only Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Gautam Gambhir is ahead of Virat Kohli, with 87* matches.

Interestingly, MS Dhoni appears twice in this list and he is the only captain to appear twice in this list.

Below is a list of most successive matches a captain has led his team in:
