Virat Kohli took to social media to reminisce about a special moment in his career ahead of the India tour of West Indies next month. The West Indies is a special place for King Kohli, as it was on June 20, 2011, when the former India skipper made his debut in the Test format against the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica. Kohli will be seen in action on July 12, when India will play in the first test against the West Indies in Windsor Park, Dominica.
The right-handed batsman did not have a good show with the bat in his first Test as he just managed to score 19 runs in the entire match.
In the first innings, he just managed to score four runs. Kohli came into bat at number five position and he was sent back to the pavilion by Fidel Edwards.
In the second innings, the right-handed Kohli scored 15 runs from 54 balls and was eventually dismissed by Fidel Edwards again. India eventually went on to win the match by 63 runs. Since his Test debut, Kohli has left a huge mark on the game.
Kohli made his Test debut on this Day in 2011 and he has changed the fortunes of Indian Test cricket as a batter and captain.
He has so far played 109 Tests, and he has managed to score 28 centuries at an average of 48.72.
