India has won 33, lost 12 and drew 10 of the 55 Tests Kohli has captained.
Under Kohli, India has played 55 Tests, winning 33, losing 12 and drawing 10 of those.
Speaking with his teammate Mayank Agarwal in a coversation for BCCI.tv, Kohli explained his outlook towards draws and the overall thought process his team has embodied since he first took over in December 2014.
"I would not compromise on wanting a result in any situation," said Kohli. "Drawing a game should be the last (option)... if you tell me that you're chasing say 300 on the last day, and the opposition put you in, I'll tell the guys let's go for it."
"It's 100 runs a session. Even if you get 80 for 2 in the first session, the middle session two guys can take the responsibility of dominating an hour. If you get 100 in that and you have seven wickets in hand for the last session and 120 to get, think of a one-day game. You can easily try and do it."
"So, a draw comes to me only and only if the situation has gone too bad or in the last hour if you don't have an option. I will not think draw from the first minute of the morning when you have to chase 300 with 10 wickets in hand. That's not an option for me and will never be," he added.
The 31-year-old, who has now played 86 Tests for his country with 7,240 runs at an average of 53.6, said teams shouldn't give up and also lose an opportunity to realise their full potential under pressure in difficult conditions.
"Fearing a loss is the most negative thing you can think of, and can cause self-harm. Surrendering before you can actually achieve a victory means you're causing harm to your own mindset. You're backing out on your potential of knowing how good you are," he said.
"What if you are that opener who gets 120 on that day and become the opener that people will know for the next 10 years and remember for life."
"Those are the days that can make a person feel like wow, I've played beyond myself. That's my only aim, for people to realise how good they can be. If the whole team can get together like that, you'll be unbeatable with the work ethic and discipline off the field," the skipper concluded.
