Virat Kohli News: When the Indian cricket team will play the Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup today, everyone's eyes will be on Virat Kohli. This World Cup has not been anything special for Kohli so far. In the matches that India played in the USA, Kohli has not been able to cross the double digit mark. But now the caravan has reached the West Indies, where runs will be expected from Kohli. Anyway, today's date i.e. 20 June has a different special significance for Kohli, as well as a connection with the West Indies.

Kohli made his Test debut on 20 June

Virat Kohli is one of the best players in the world right now. Whenever he enters the field, some record is waiting for him. Right now he is playing the T20 World Cup, but the kind of batting Kohli does in Tests, there is no answer to it. But do you know when and where Kohli started his Test career. Yes, Virat Kohli made his Test debut on today's date i.e. 20 June. Since then, he has been playing continuously for the Indian team.

Kohli did not score many runs in his first test

Not only this, Kohli played his first test against West Indies. Today, there is no match against West Indies, but Kohli will be seen playing a match in West Indies today. When Kohli made his debut on 20 June 2011, he scored 4 runs in the first innings and 15 runs in the second. Although this was not a very memorable match for him in terms of runs, but still the debut match is special in itself. His fans would just be hoping that the way he made his test debut in West Indies and the runs he has scored in this year's T20 World Cup so far, Kohli should play a great innings going forward.

Kohli has scored a century in T20 International against Afghanistan only

The interesting thing is that Kohli has scored only one century in T20 International cricket so far and that century has come against Afghanistan only. That means Kohli likes the Afghanistan team a lot. Virat Kohli played an innings of 122 runs in 61 balls against Afghanistan during the Asia Cup on 8 September 2022. Before this and even after this, Kohli has not scored a century for India in T20. Fans now have to wait for a few hours to see how Kohli will bat in his new opening role.
