I Have Got 15 Centuries Away From Home – Virat Kohli

Speaking after the end of the second day’s play, Virat Kohli opened up about his century, highlighting that he has more centuries in away conditions than at home.

“Honestly, these things are for others to talk on the outside. I have got 15 centuries away from home, not quite a bad record. I have got more centuries away from home than I have got at home. We haven’t played 30 Test matches away from home,” Virat said.

“I don’t know how many we have played but it is not a big number. I have got a few 50-plus scores but, with me if I get a fifty it is like I missed out on a hundred and if I get 120 it is like I missed out on a double hundred.

I just have to focus on what I can do for the team and try to bat to the best of my abilities and help the team as much as possible,” he added.

The Rohit Sharma-led team was bowled out for 438 runs in the first innings. Ravichandran Ashwin scored an important half-century with tailenders. The Indian bowlers picked up only one wicket at the stumps on Day 2, restricting The Windies team to 86/1.
