The former Indian wicket-keeper batsman, Parthiv Patel has come up with a statement for Virat Kohli and said, "His number speaks for him itself. The batter averages 50 in Test cricket and has taken Indian Test cricket at new heights during his captaincy tenure.

I have played under Virat’s captaincy and the attitude he brought in the Test side is remarkable," Parthiv Patel said during a conversation with Cricbuzz.

"Every match is important for Kohli even if we are trailing behind or have already won the series, we have to play every match with the same intensity. Playing 100 Test match is a big achievement for any player.

Even in Indian cricket, very few have achieved this landmark. We will now take Virat’s name alongside with some Indian greats including Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, and Sachin Tendulkar who have achieved this landmark," he added.
