4. All of them scored 183 before becoming captain
Sourav Ganguly has made 183 against Sri Lanka in 1996 World Cup. The innings is one of the finest in World Cup history till date as he hammered the likes of Chaminda Vaas, Muttiah Muralidharan and others on that day at Taunton.
MS Dhoni has replicated the same performance against the same opposition after 9 years at Jaipur and chased the target quite comfortably as he sent ball to the boundary ropes all the day. He slaughtered Sri Lankan bowling by hitting 15 fors and 10 sixes.
Virat Kohli on the other hand has played a brilliant knock against Pakistan in a crunch Asia Cup game where India needed to chase a mammoth 330. The knock was one of the many which has made him the best chaser the world has ever seen.
