It’s been a long journey. I consider myself lucky that I have got a chance to play these 100 Tests. It took a lot of hard work to get here. This is a big opportunity for me and my family. It’s also a huge opportunity for my coach, who has been most happy with it. I have learned a lot from him in my career.

Kohli further says that, earlier I used to play small innings, but then in 7th and 8th class I got the idea of playing big innings. When I hit some big double centuries in junior cricket and scored a lot of runs. At that time I believed that I should play long innings and play hard at the crease. Then I started enjoying my batting. I always try to make my team win. These are some of the things that teach you a lot. This is also your real test. At the same time, experience in the test matters a lot.
