Virat Kohli led Team India to an emphatic and historic Test series win when they beat Sri Lanka 3-0 to earn their first series whitewash overseas.
Team India skipper Virat Kohli recently revealed the secret mantra to the Indian cricket team's success.
According to CricketNext, Virat Kohli stated that there is no divide between seniority of players in the team.
In this team, we are more like a bunch of friends playing together rather than a senior or a junior," said Virat Kohli at the end of the Pallekele Test.

While MS Dhoni's six Test overseas wins comes from 60 matches, Virat Kohli has won seven from just 29 matches so far. Virat Kohli will now target Sourav Ganguly's 11 Test overseas wins in his 49 matches as captain of the Indian cricket team.
