Batting maestro Virat Kohli after being felicitated by head coach Dravid said that it is a special moment for him. He added that his family members are in Mohali and they are proud of him. He also thanked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Kohli elaborated:

It is a special moment for me. My wife is here and so is my brother. Everyone is very proud. It is indeed a team game and it couldn’t have been possible without you. Thanks to the BCCI as well. In present-day cricket, with the amount we play with three formats and an IPL, the one takeaway the next generation can take from me is that I played 100 games in the purest format.”
