Former India captain Virat Kohli has added another feather to his hat as the right-hander is playing his 100th Test for the team. Kohli was earlier felicitated before the match for achieving the milestone and was presented a special memento in Mohali.
Coach Rahul Dravid lauded Kohli for his achievement. "It's well deserved, well earned, and hopefully it is just the start of many things to come. As we say in the dressing room, double it up,” he said.
Kohli thanked his family, coach and the BCCI. "I want to thank the BCCI and getting my 100th Test cap from one of my childhood heroes is indeed amazing," Kohli said.
"It is a special moment for me. My wife is here and so is my brother. Everyone is very proud. It is indeed a team game and it couldn't have been possible without you. With the amount we play with three formats and an IPL, the one takeaway the next generation can take from me is that I played 100 games in the purest format," he added.
The right-handed batsman joined the elite list which comprises of Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Ishant Sharma.
