IND vs WI: Virat Kohli speaks about scoring 29th Test century in Trinidad
The second and final match of the two-Test series between India and West Indies is being played at the Queen's Park Oval in the Port of Spain, Trinidad. Virat Kohli scored his 29th Test century in the game. It was his 76th century in all three formats.
India legend Virat Kohli has added another feather to his cap. The right-handed batter scored a 29th Test century in the second Test against the West Indies. This was Kohli’s first ton on foreign soil after 55 months or 1677 days. The last century on foreign soil was scored by Virat in December 2018 at the Perth Stadium. This was Kohli's third Test century against the West Indies. Earlier, he had scored centuries in Northsound (200) and Rajkot Test (139). Kohli spoke about his 100 at Trinidad in a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India on social media.
“I have always enjoyed the atmosphere here. You can see all those 10-15 years of tough cricket here. Every time we come to the West Indies, Antigua, and Trinidad are my best places to play,” said Kohli. He added that just like Adelaide Oval is one of his favourite grounds to play purely for the atmosphere. “Few stadiums you walk in and you can feel the atmosphere. This venue is the same for me. There is a lot of history attached to this ground.”
