Srinagar: Team India skipper Rohit Sharma has hailed India superstar Virat Kohli after India were forced to settle for a draw in second Test against hosts West Indies due to rain. However, India still claimed series 1-0.
In a match Kohli slammed his 29th Test century to give the visitors an edge over the Men from the Caribbean. Kohli’s scintillating knock powered Team India to a massive 1st innings total of 438 at Queen’s Park Oval.
Reflecting on India’s series win over the West Indies, skipper Rohit gave a special mention to Kohli, who led the batting charge of the visitors.
“In Test matches, you need guys who stabilise the innings like what Virat did, he played superbly. You need the mixture of everything. We have depth, we have got variety. We are in the right place. It’s about getting the job done. I always believe in getting better as a team. I said after the WTC final as well. We’ve played consistent cricket. That’s what we are looking at. We want to focus on all three aspects of the game,” Rohit said during the post-match ceremony.
Kohli’s first overseas Test ton since 2018 arrived in his record-setting 500th international match for Team India.
