Virat Kohli, who returned after about 13 years in the Ranji Trophy, did not return good. Virat was dismissed for Delhi on behalf of Delhi while playing against the railway at his home ground Arun Jaitley Stadium. Virat's return from the bat was not good but still the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) made this match special for him. On the second day of the match, DDCA specially honored the star batsman for achieving the achievement of playing 100 Test matches.

Virat Kohli received this special honor on Friday, 31 January on the second day of the Ranji Trophy match being played between Delhi and Railways. After the day's play was over, DDCA president Rohan Jaitley honored Virat with a special trophy and shawl. Kohli received this honor to play 100 Test matches. During this, Virat Kohli's childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma was also present in the field and Kohli touched his feet directly and took blessings from him.

Honored after 3 years

Virat is only the third cricketer from Delhi to play 100 Test matches. Prior to him, Virender Sehwag and Ishant Sharma achieved this feat. Although Virat played his 100th Test match about 3 years ago in March 2022 and after that he also played a Test match in Delhi in 2023 but DDCA forgot to honor him. Nevertheless, DDCA rectified his mistake and gave his right to the former Indian captain. By the way, Virat Kohli has been honored by DDCA earlier also. A few years ago, DDCA honored the Indian star at the Arun Jaitley Stadium by keeping a pavilion after Virat Kohli.

How was Kohli's career

Kohli's Test career may be going through difficulties at this time and he is close to his end, but he has achieved many great achievements in this career of about 14 years. Kohli, who has played 123 Test matches so far, has scored 9230 runs, including 30 centuries. During this, Kohli also captained Team India in 60 Tests and has also proved to be the most successful captain of the country by winning 40 Test matches.
