CAPTAINS' CONTRASTING FORTUNES

England's victory in the first Test was the sixth consecutive away win for Root as skipper, a sixth successive win in the subcontinent, and a first on Indian soil since 2012.

The loss in the first Test in Chennai was Kohli’s fourth in succession as the captain. India lost 2-0 on the away tour to New Zealand and lost the first Test against Australia in Adelaide. Kohli returned as skipper in Chennai where England humbled India.
