WI v IND 2023: ‘Another day, another century’- Sachin Tendulkar lauds Virat Kohli for his 29th Test ton

Virat Kohli is the first man to score a century in his 500th international match.

India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar was all praises for the ace batter Virat Kohli, who hit his 29^th Test ton in the ongoing second Test between India and West Indies in Trinidad on July 21, 2023.

Indian team resumed their innings on 288/4 with Virat Kohli unbeaten on 87 and Ravindra Jadeja on 36*. And soon after the team’s 300 was brought up, Virat Kohli achieved another huge milestone as he cover-drove Shannon Gabriel for a four.

He brought up his 29^th Test and 76^th international century. This was also his first overseas Test ton since 2018 and he became the first batter to hit a ton in his 500^th international game.

It was a huge moment for Virat Kohli, who endured a horrid phase from November 2019 to September 2022 without a single century in international cricket.
