India great Virat Kohli is undoubtedly one of the finest players to have played the game of cricket. The former India skipper is known for his aggressive batting style and is regarded as one of the best batters in international cricket. Time and again several players from rival teams have expressed his love and admiration for the Indian batter and one such moment was seen during the second Test, when WI keeper Joshua Da Silva urged Kohli to score his 100.
Fondly called King Kohli or Run Machine by fans, Virat Kohli is currently a part of India’s expedition to West Indies for an all-format series, where he is batting at 87*. The second West Indies vs India Test is a milestone game for Kohli as he is playing his 500th international match for India. The 34-year-old cricketer took 97 deliveries to reach his 30th Test fifty and is 13 runs short of his 29th Test ton.
Joshua and Kohli were notably engaged in chat several times during the game, and in one such instance, the 25-year-old was heard telling the Indian star to score his century. Joshua told Kohli, “Get your 100, Virat,” to which Kohli replied "You are obsessed with my milestones?" Following that, the young keeper laughingly said, “I know I am, I want you to get your 100.”
Notably, if Kohli ends up getting his 100 on Day 2 of the game, it will be his first overseas Test ton since December 2018. Shouldering on a 106-run partnership between Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, team India put up a total of 288/4 by the end of Day 1.
