port of Spain. After scoring his 29th century in Test cricket, India’s star batsman Virat Kohli said that he feels upbeat when he faces adversity and was satisfied with the hundred in the second Test against the West Indies. The 34-year-old Kohli on Friday equaled Sir Don Bradman’s record of 29 Test hundreds when he scored 121 as India scored 438 in their first innings. This is his first international century overseas in the last five years.
He scored his last international century abroad in 2018. Kohli said after the end of the second day’s play, “I really enjoyed this innings.” I was in a good rhythm and I wanted to keep it going. It was a challenging time when I stepped into the crease. On such occasions, when I have to face challenges, I feel excited. “He said,” I needed to be patient because the outfield was slow. It is very satisfying because I had to work hard.
This is Kohli’s 76th century in 500 international matches. He surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 74 international centuries in the first 500 matches. Kohli said, “First of all, I am grateful that I got to play 500 matches for India. I have scored 15 centuries overseas. I have scored more centuries on foreign soil than in India. Apart from this, I have also scored some half-centuries. “He said,” I just have to focus on what I have to do for the team. I try to contribute to the victory of the team. These figures and achievements mean a lot when the team needs me.
Kohli said, “This is a special occasion for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to a Test match. Kohli, one of the fittest cricketers in the world, said about his fitness, “I take full care of myself. I pay full attention to exercise, sleep, rest and my diet. Converting one run into two is an easy task for me. This helps me to remain stress free. Good fitness helps me to play in all formats.
