WATCH - 'He is the king of world cricket': Trinidad celebrates Virat Kohli's century

NEW DELHI: Star Indian batsman Virat Kohli notched up his 29th Test hundred during Day 2 of the second match against West Indies. The 34-year-old run machine equalled Sir Don Bradman's record of 29 Test centuries in India's commendable first innings score of 438, hitting a polished 121 in 206 balls.

The feat was hailed by all the fans sitting in the stands at the Queen's Park Oval stadium in Port of Spain in Trinidad.

"He is the king of world cricket. King Kohli sir. I came all the way from Chicago to watch Mr Kohli. He is the greatest batsman in the world," - that's how fans present in the stadium hailed Kohli.

WATCH:

The hundred ended his five-year-long drought for an international Test century outside India. He scored his last ton in 2018.

Kohli feels "charged up" when faced with an adverse situation and said it was extremely "satisfying" to get his 29th Test hundred.

"I really enjoyed myself out there. I was in the rhythm, I wanted to be in. Started in challenging times. I switch on during these times. When I have something to overcome, I get charged up," Kohli said after the end of day 2.

"I had to be patient as the outfield was slow. It was very satisfying as I had to do the hard yards."
