The 34-year-old sweating hard to score runs for his side as India are touring West Indies for the first time since 2019. India remain undefeated in that tour under Kohli's captaincy.

Kohli revealed that he made his favourite memory in the Windies in Antigua, when he got his maiden Test double century in front of legendary WI batter Viv Richards, who is also one of his idols in the sport.

"My favourite memory obviously is Antigua. I got my first-ever double hundred in Test cricket in Antigua in front of Sir Vivian Richards. That for me was a very, very special moment and then he met me in the evening as well and congratulated me. It cannot get any better than that," he told Star Sports.

Overall against the Windies, Kohli has played 14 Tests and has scored 822 runs at an average of 43.26. He has scored two centuries and five half-centuries, with the best score of 200.
