Speaking about the cricket relationship between India and West Indies for his 100th test, Virat Kohli said playing the match was a "special occasion" for him. Indian star batsman Virat Kohli added that his century was satisfactory and he had to be patient because his wicket was slow, as he had to make a "hard yard" after spending his 76th international century in his 500th international game. The West Indies started cautiously in response to India's staggering first innings totaling 438 points, as they lost only one wicket in the final session of their second Test at Port of Spain on Saturday.

"I really enjoyed myself out there. I was in the rhythm that I wanted to do. It started at a difficult time. I turn on the switch at this time. When I have something to overcome, I'm charged. The outfield was slow, so I had to be patient. I was very satisfied because I had to have a tough yard," Virat said after a day's game. Virat said the milestone meant something to him when the team needed him and expressed his gratitude for being able to play 500 games.

"I'm 15 centuries away from home. I got more than 50 points. I just need to focus on what I need to do for the team. I try to help the team. These statistics and milestones mean something to me when the team needs me. First of all, I'm very grateful for playing 500 games for India. I took care of myself. Training, sleep cycles, rest and diet. Converting 1 to 2 seconds is easy for me. It helps me get out of the pressure. Fitness helps me play intensively in all formats. I want to continue playing in all formats," he said.

On India-West Indies cricket relations for his 100th test, Virat said playing the match was a "special occasion" for him. "I couldn't ask for a better start to this test. There's a sense of history in this land. The audience loves their cricket here. Antigua and here are my two favorite stadiums in the Caribbean. Adelaide in Australia and Bulling in South Africa are also my favorite stadiums. The wicket is slow. Bundled wickets won't come. If we can stay in the game and lower our scoring rate, we hope to get a few wickets," he concluded.

Now, after 500 games, Virat has a record that everyone in the cricket world would envy with an average of 53.63, up from 25,582. He scored 76th century and 131 half century in 559 innings with a best 254 points. He became the first player to break 100 years in his 500th international match. 토토사이트 추천
