New Delhi: Virat Kohli ended the drought of century on Thursday by hitting his first T20I 100 against Afghanistan. It was a pleasant gift for the Indian fans as well as the cricketer himself.
After the celebration in various form, Kohli sat together with India captain Rohit Sharma to have a chit-chat on the new milestone of the former India captain.
Virat-Rohit laugh out loud
While starting the conversation with the centurion Kohli, Rohit Sharma talked in very formal hindi and that led to a lot of laughter. Before replying to Rohit’s question, Kohli made fun of Sharma’s formal way of conversation and later said, “It was pleasant and shocking for himself.”
I want to keep playing live this – Virat Kohli
“It was quite a special day for us. As a team, we had spoken after the last match that it matters what kind of attitude we play this match with. Because this tournament was important for us. We got exposure to knockout stages, we got exposure to pressure, but we all know what our goal is. It’s the World Cup in Australia and we are improving for that and we will learn from the matches we lost,” said Kohli.

“Personally, not just today but from the time that I returned to the team, I got a big break, and quite a few things came into perspective. And from you guys and the management, the communication was clear — to just let me bat. That was very important for me. The space I got from all of you guys, it really helped me relax in that whole phase. And when I came back, I was excited about how I could contribute to the team,” he added.
“I wanted to play like this because we have a big World Cup coming up, and if I play like this, I’ll be contributing more,” he said.
