On the evening of the fourth Test in the 2016-17 series against Australia, Virat Kohli walked up to Ajinkya Rahane and wished him all the best for his captaincy debut.
Few moments later, as the Indian think tank gathered around to pick the final XI at Dharamsala, Rahane`s first reaction was to ask Kohli his thoughts? The answer from Kohli was blunt: "It is not about me...this is your team, so you make the decision".
