Dhoni has a record of winning six overseas Test matches.

One of the most successful Indian captains, Sourav Ganguly leads the list with an impressive record of 11 overseas victories.

India dominated the hosts throughout the first match as the team went on to ink its biggest win on foreign land since 1986.
