Cricket viewers will have mixed opinions on whether Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni took too long to declare Indian innings in the Wellington Test, which anyway led India to a series win by 1-0 after 41-years.

But the draw in Wellington Test also means that India have not lost a single Test under Dhoni. Out of 289 players, who have captained their respective sides in Test cricket, only nine have remained unbeaten after leading their sides in five or more matches.

Dhoni is the only one current players in this elite list.
