Praising the ex-skipper who gave up the T20 captaincy and was forced to step down from the ODI captaincy as well, Karthik said that Kohli has led Team India so well and taken the Test team to a very strong place. 

Kohli boasts of a better Test record as a skipper than his predecessors MS Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly. While Kohli led the Men in Blue to 40 wins out of 68 matches, Ganguly had 21 wins out of 49 matches he led and Dhoni had 27 wins in 60 Tests. 

Saying that Kohi has given everything he had, Karthik further added that it brings him great joy to be a part of Kohli's journey who has been India's top captains.
