The Torch bearer of Test Cricket

Virat Kohli to play his 100th Test match at Mohali on March 4 with crowd.

04March 2022 will be written on golden letters on Indian Cricket history as the king will be playing his 100th game in Whites. Its safe to say the reason many of us sit and watch 5 days of Test Cricket is because of virat. The intensity, passion he brings onto the field is matchable to none.

When Shane Warne said,”Test Cricket will live long because of Virat Kohli” it makes sense.

From the era of t20’s he’s the one who is holding the crown of Test cricket for so long. After M.S gave the baton to Virat in 2014, we had seen the difference in our approach immediately. India lost the series but Kohli’s words,”Even we are gonna lose,we’ll always go for a win drawing a match should be my last option”.

That winning mindset and approach giving 120% every game until the last bowl, the aggression, the hunger, attitude, fiery press conference, being a nightmare to SENA countries is what makes him The Greatest of All Time in tests as well.

His hunger to succeed will led us to win a series in Australia after 71 years. We are leading 2-1 in England too don’t forget that. Captain Kohli’s legacy is far better than winning trophies and gigantic statistics. He created a culture in this team. Infact, he build this team. We can clearly seen players giving prior to fitness regimes and wanted to be their best version of themselves.

Kohli has the 3rd best winning percentage of 58.82 after Steve Waugh 71.93 and Ricky Ponting 62.24. He may continued to be captain for his 100th Test Match atleast. But that’s what this selfless leader did. Resigned as a Test Captain after his 99th Test. “That’s who iam” and that’s the king is!!

As crowd is also coming to Mohali,can’t wait to see the reception when he walks on the field for batting. He will be the 12th Indian to achieve the feat of playing 100 Tests. Playing 100 Matches is a huge milestone. His Adelaide knocks, Perth and Centurion Classics will forever live in my heart, for the fighting spirit even India ended up losing these matches. A True Saviour.

Many congratulations on your 100th Test King! You are a inspiration for billions who’s looking upto you as a idol. May you always rise the bat so that you will have no time to put it down! Many more runs to score and victories to climb. Rock on King!! You did good and Happy 100th as well.
