Kohli is, however, not the first cricketer to achieve this huge milestone. New Zealand’s Ross Taylor achieved this mega feat in 2020. As for 100 T20I matches for India, current skipper Rohit Sharma has become the first Indian to achieve this record. Sharma already has 132 T20I matches under his belt.
Ahead of the mega encounter, the India team skipper spoke about Kohli’s amazing feat to Star Sports. “We know that his hunger and passion is unmatchable, every time you see him he come out with different energy all the time and you know it’s definitely not easy to play 100 games for India across formats.”

“So I would firstly congratulate him for that, it’s a massive achievement, every time we see him, his game is at a different level, I hope Asia Cup will be no different, massive player for us without a doubt. I hope you know, he’s at his best for the team’s sake,” added Sharma.
Ravindra Jadeja who has played with Kohli at the U19 level said, “I remember when we were playing Under-19, since then his dedication and hunger for runs is still fresh or in my opinion even more, because from Under-19 till now, his goal has been to always work hard to get runs, improve his fitness, game, and more.”

Rishabh Pant went full praises for Virat Kohli and the legacy that he is setting. “One of the biggest things is in all three formats if any player represents India for 100 matches, and Virat has played 400, 600 matches. So he’s amazing as a cricketer and you hope that even your career becomes like his in life, and play 400, 500 matches for India, win so many matches for India, his legacy of winning so many matches for India over a period of time, so looking at his career us players get inspired, that we can be somewhere near his level at the end.”
Sending my best wishes #TeamIndia’s way! Looking forward to an exciting tournament of cricket 🇮🇳

Hardik Pandya said “To play that amount of cricket itself is a big achievement, leave the record its fine, people will remember this feat for the longest time since I don’t see in the near future this happening very often, people playing two, three formats and you know playing 100 games each. If someone has the passion why not, but with the cricket we are playing it’ll be difficult so people will remember this for a long time and yeah that’s it, his record speaks for itself.“
