Indian team captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday recalled the 2014 Test match played in Adelaide. According to him, that test match will always be a milestone for Indian cricket
In the first Test match played on 9–13 December, the Indian team gave a tough challenge to the team captained by Michael Clarke. India, however, could not win the match even after centuries by Kohli in both innings.
Posting a photo on his Twitter Handle, Virat Kohli wrote,
“Throwback to this very special and important test in our journey as the test team that we are today. Adelaide 2014 was a game filled with emotion on both sides and an amazing one for people to watch too. Although we didn’t cross the line being so close, it taught us that anything is possible if we put our mind to it because we committed to doing something which seemed very difficult to begin with but almost pulled it off. All of us committed to it. This will always remain a very important milestone in our journey as a test side.”
(2/2)..anything is possible if we put our mind to it because we committed to doing something which seemed very difficult to begin with but almost pulled it off. All of us committed to it. This will always remain a very important milestone in our journey as a test side. 🇮🇳💙
