Following his 76th century in his memorable 500th game, Brian Lara calls Virat Kohli “just an awesome player.”

Brian Lara Record-breaking Indian batsman Virat Kohli is an expert. The 34-year-old has broken several records over the years and is still breaking them today. In the second Test of the current series, when India faced the West Indies, the star batter displayed his excellent recent form.

Kohli’s superb knock, which saw him score 121 runs in just 206 deliveries, was essential to India scoring 438 runs in the first innings of the second Test. The illustrious West Indies batsman Brian Lara was one of many commentators who praised Kohli for his superb performance, which drew plaudits from all corners of the globe.

Coming up to reminisce on his spectacular ton and to congratulate him, Lara asserted that no one could keep a player like Virat Kohli down for too long and that it was just a matter of time until he started hitting huge goals again.

“He’s a great player, and you can’t keep someone like that down for very long,” someone once said. If you do, eventually, some people will be forced to pay.

He’s really a terrific player, and based on recent performances in the IPL, you can’t anticipate someone like that to be out of commission for very long, Brian Lara

remarked in an interview.

West Indies start cautiously, India get a breakthrough late on day 2 of Second Test

Speaking about the game, the West Indies headed out to bat seeking to build on their performance from the first Test after team India’s outstanding batting display and 438 runs scored in the first innings. As openers Tagenarine Chanderpaul and captain Kraigg Brathwaite appeared to be in the zone, the team accomplished that goal.

With 33 runs under his belt, Chanderpaul sought to get the hosts off to a strong start. Ravindra Jadeja, an all-rounder, though, got the opening wicket and gave India a breakthrough. The Windies had a score of 86 runs with the loss of one wicket by the time Day 2’s stumps were called.
