With pictures of Team India celebrating their victories in 2021, RCB shared a post which showed that Kohli's men finished a calendar year as the No.1 ranked Test team for the sixth consecutive year in a row.

The streak started in 2016, a year after Kohli had taken over the captaincy from MS Dhoni. Over the next two years, India displayed impressive dominance at home before going outside Asia to script two of their most memorable Test series win - the 2018/19 and 2020/21 series win in Australia.

“Finishing on Top for six consecutive years. This is some dominance by #TeamIndia - the undisputed no. one in Tests. #PlayBold #ICCRankings,” tweeted RCB.

Here is how fans reacted…

India had finished as No.1 in Tests in 2021 after their home series win against New Zealand by a margin of 1-0. India eventually wrapped up their most memorable year in Test cricket breaching another fortess, Centurion, as they beat South Africa by 113 runs earlier this week.

Looking back at India's phenomenal 2021, Kohli told BCCI.tv, "New Year is a very good time to look back and analyse how you played your cricket. And I think we played some outstanding cricket, not just this year, but over the last two three years, especially overseas. We are a side who are getting better and gaining more confidence with how much cricket we play. It feels amazing to be 1-0 up. Sets up wonderfully for the Wanderers."

India will now aim to win their maiden Test series in South Africa when they take on an out-of-sorts South African side in Johannesburg Test that begins January 3.
