India crushed Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the first Test to take a 1-0 lead in the series. This match was special for both the teams in many ways. While Virat Kohli came out to play his 100th Test match, the Sri Lankan team played their 300th match. Virat became the 12th Indian player to play the 100th Test match. However, in this historic match, he could only score 45 runs. Virat won the hearts of the fans with his action, if not batting. On the third day of the match, he did some kind of celebration on the field, which is becoming quite viral on social media.
On the third day of the Mohali Test, when Ravindra Jadeja got Lasith Ambuldeniya caught by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant in the 51st over of the Sri Lankan innings, Kohli ‘Pushpa’ in the middle ground enjoying Ravindra Jadeja’s steps from the film ‘Main Jhukega Nahi’ appeared. This video of Virat is now making a lot of noise on social media. Even before Virat, many players have been seen celebrating while doing the steps of ‘Pushpa the Rise’ movie on the middle ground. Ravindra Jadeja is also one of them.
For this 100th Test of Virat, the BCCI had allowed 50 percent fans to come to the stadium. Fans were eagerly waiting for Kohli’s 71st century. But this could not happen. The second test match of the series will now be played in Bengaluru, which will be a day night test match.
