New Delhi: Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli completed his 100th Test match in Mohali on March 4. The world-renowned batsman was given a ceremonial cap by the present coach and former cricketer Rahul Dravid. He was accompanied by his wife Anushka Sharma on the field while his daughter Vamika, his mother, and brother watched from the stands.
India beat Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the first match of the series. Besides, this Test was special to Kohli as he was given the guard of honour by his teammates on Day 2 when India came out of the field.
But what made the Test extra more special was his kind gesture of giving his t-shirt to a differently-abled fan. On Day 3, when Kohli was his way back to the team bus, a differently-abled man was seen waiting to catch a look at the batter.
Dharmveer Pal, a die-hard fan of Kohli, who is also known to be the unofficial 12th man of the Indian team, got the jersey of Virat Kohli before the latter boarded the bus. Dharmveer travels alongside the national team for most of their matches when on international tours.
The video was shared by Dharmveer on his Twitter account and the video went viral within a few hours of its share. The video has over 20k views. Along with the video, he captioned it, “Wow it’s great day my life @imVkohli he’s 100th test match he’s gifts me t shirts wow ? #viratkohli #ViratKohli100thTest#KingKohli.”

As far as the match was concerned, Ravindra Jadeja became the highlight as his much-awaited dream of scoring a century and taking five wickets came true. Batting on number 7 for the India team, the all-rounder scored breathtaking 175 not out and later took a total of nine wickets. He was named the Player of the Match.
