Following India's thumping win over New Zealand in Mumbai, former all-rounder Irfan Pathan lavished praise on Virat Kohli, saying he is "the best Test captain the country has ever had."

Pathan made the comment on Twitter after the Kohli-led side thrashed the Black Caps by a huge margin, 372 runs, to seal the Test at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.

"As I have said earlier and saying it again @imVkohli is the best Test Captain India have ever had! He's at the top with a win percentage of 59.09. The second spot is at 45 per cent," tweeted Pathan.

The victory in Mumbai also meant that India registered their 14th consecutive series win at home and 11th straight under Kohli's leadership. India will now head to South Africa for three Tests and three ODIs, beginning December 26.
