New Delhi: Former India captain Virat Kohli is all set to achieve a historic milestone soon. He will play the 100th Test match of his career. Kohli will play his historic match against Sri Lanka in Mohali from March 4. However, according to Kohli, he did not believe that he would be able to play even 100 Tests in his life.

'I never thought i'll play 100 Test matches. It has been a long journey. Grateful that i've been able to make it to 100' - @imVkohli on his landmark Test.

Kohli said this in a video released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The board posted this short video message of Kohli on Twitter. In the video, Kohli is saying, "To be honest, I never thought in my life that I would be able to play 100 Tests. It's been quite a long journey. Kohli said, "I consider myself fortunate to have got the opportunity to play these 100 Tests. I played a lot of international cricket during this journey. It's worked very hard to get here. This is an important opportunity for me and my family. Especially for my coach, who was the happiest. I've learned from them in my career.'' 

Kohli further said that earlier he used to play small innings, but the idea of playing big innings came from 7th and 8th grades when I scored some big double centuries in junior cricket. Scored a lot of runs. I believed then that I should play long innings. Play hard at the crease. I was enjoying my batting. I'm always trying to get my team to win. These are the things that teach you a lot. That's your real test, too. Experience in Tests matters a lot.
