A mesmerizing gesture to watch when Rohit Sharma-led side was to celebrate Kohli's 100th Test. Indian players lined up and clapped as Kohli stepped onto the field. He briskly made his way into the middle with a big smile on his face. Kohli is only the 12th Indian after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Sourav Ganguly, Ishant Sharma, Virender Sehwag, and Harbhajan Singh to get the honour of representing the side for 100 or more times.
He was honored with a 'Guard of Honour' from his Indian teammates on Day 2 of India vs Sri Lanka's first Test at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Saturday.
