Virat Kohli felicitated by Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) for playing 100 Test matches

New Delhi: Talismanic India batter Virat Kohli was felicitated by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) for his achievement of playing 100 Test matches, the feat that the former accomplished in 2022.

Kohli’s felicitation took place after the end of day two’s play of the ongoing Ranji Trophy Group D match between Railways and Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday. Kohli, the right-handed batter, achieved the milestone of playing 100 Test matches against Sri Lanka at the PCA Stadium in Mohali in March 2022.

IANS understands that the felicitation from DDCA happened just after day two’s play ended as it was felt within the governing body that the timing was right for it to happen, especially considering Kohli was playing a Ranji Trophy match after more than 12 years.

Kohli, 36, was presented with a shawl and a silver memento by DDCA president Rohan Jaitley, who turned a year older on Friday. Other members in the felicitation panel included apex council members, directors and Rajkumar Sharma, Kohli’s childhood coach. IANS
