IND vs WI: ‘Get Your 100, Kohli…’ – West Indies Wicket Keeper’s Special Request to Kohli Goes Viral on Stump Mic – Watch Video
Virat Kohli remaining unbeaten on 87 runs on the 1st day of second test.
Virat Kohli put on a batting masterclass on the first day of the second Test against West Indies, remaining unbeaten on 87 runs and steering India out of trouble after the loss of four wickets. A formidable partnership of 106 runs with Ravindra Jadeja propelled India to a commanding position, finishing the day with a score of 288 runs.
With great composure, Kohli faced the Windies’ ‘much-improved’ bowling lineup on a pitch that offered little to play the shots freely. It took him 97 deliveries to reach a hard-earned half-century, and in doing so, he surpassed the legendary Jacques Kallis, rising to the fifth position among the highest run-scorers in international cricket.
With a graceful cover drive off Jomel Warrican, Kohli reached his half-century, sparking a chorus of admiration from his fans on social media. Meanwhile, West Indies wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva, who was standing just behind the stump when Kohli reached his fifty couldn’t hide his excitement.
The stump mic picked up Joshua Da Silva’s constant chatter, and it turned out to be nothing like the usual on-field banter. In an unexpected twist, he urged the former India captain to notch up a century this time after falling agonisingly close to the feat in their series opener in Dominica.
“Get your 100, Virat, I want you to score it,” Joshua was heard saying to Kohli.

Later, Joshua was even heard saying at the stump mic that his mother told him that she would be coming to the Queen’s Park Oval to watch Virat Kohli bat.
“My mom called me and told me she’s coming to watch the match for Virat Kohli, I couldn’t believe it,” Joshua said.
Observing Joshua da Silva’s excitement, it becomes evident that he is no different from millions of other ardent fans of Virat Kohli, delighting in watching the Indian maestro bat. The excitement is set to continue on day two of the ongoing Test as Kohli stands a mere 14 runs away from scoring his first overseas Test century since 2018.
