The Rise of Indian test team-part 7 home dominance to extanding their dominance in overseas

•learning from the mistakes is the biggest thing for overseas domination: whenever this side went to an sena nation the very second series they won. They toured aus in 2014 and understood what needed for the team and Indian team managed to find the ideal pace attack with help of south africa and England series and managed to win the Australian series and become the first asian captain to do that.

•unlike previous or other captains all kohli wanted is to win and he didn't worry about dropping any player if particular player in that condition might affect the chances of win and kohli proved that by dropping world's best spinner ashwin for England series where there is no spin and played only jadeja as spinner that too for his batting more then bowling and went to almost win the series as India are standing 2-1 in unfinished series which would have been 3-1 if rain didn't affect the first test of the series where India was well placed for an win. He was not ready to give importance to outside noises and critics even after lot of rumours on ashwin and kohli kohli remained unworried and wanted to do what is good for the team. His attitude to go for win has already made him the only Indian captain to win a series in aus and win/draw a series in England. And now he can become only Indian captain to win a test series in south africa. His faith on his pacers has made India one of the strongest pace attack team which was seldom supported and done by previous captains. 
•giving importance to reality and that moment over imaginary or future ie., all he thinks about is to dominate all the 5 days and have players who can do that unlike other who plays 2 spinners in England hoping it might spin on day 5 without thinking about first 4 days. He also did that mistake in wtc final which costed India their first test icc championship he played 2 spinners even after frequent rain hoping that track will produce spin in last 2 days at it is a neutral track prepared by icc but it backfired as due to rain the track didn't dry and failed to produce roughs as a result India end up lossing the match. And eventually he changed approach from the learning by bringing in siraj and played thakur ahead of ashwin. Which is still the rumour creating one for kohli. Anyways being a captain means you should do what is good for team and not doing anything that will affect the team chances for win
