100th Test is another feather in Virat Kohli’s cap: Jasprit Bumrah

Former India skipper Virat Kohli will be playing his 100th Test when he takes the field against Sri Lanka in the first match of the series in Mohali on March 4, 2022. 

Pacer Jasprit Bumrah who made his Test debut under Kohli’s captaincy lauded the right-handed batsman and said that it would add another feather to his hat. 

“It is always a special achievement for a player. You know it is a testimony to his hard-work, dedication,” Bumrah said in an online press conference here.

“…(playing) 100 Test matches for your country is a great occasion and he has contributed a lot to the success of the Indian team and will contribute a lot more in the future as well,” he added.

“It is another feather in his (Kohli’s) cap. I just wish him the best and congratulate him for the achievement.”

The first clash will be played without the spectators and talking about the same, the right-arm bowler insisted that the players are more focused on what is in their control. 

“See, right now we are in the frame of mind, where we are focussing on what we can control,” Bumrah said. 

“(If) the crowds come, it is good for the energy, but that is something that we cannot control, we don’t have any power regarding that, we don’t decide the rules,” he made it clear.
