After India’s phenomenal win in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Star Sports experts and cricketing legends Sunil Gavaskar and Matthew Hayden shared their insights on Virat Kohli, his prowess as a player, and his adjustments to counter the Australian attack.

Speaking exclusively on Star Sports during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar spoke about how players feel after scoring a century for the country. "Oh yes, oh yes, I tell you what, for your country, man, it's an unbelievable feeling! It's just an unbelievable feeling to wear your country's cap. That's the dream of every school kid. Then you know, you say to yourself, 'I don't want to make a fool of myself at the international level,' at least that's what I thought. I don't want to make a fool of myself. You know, even if I get 60-70, if I get into my first series, I get 300 runs, 250 runs, I'll be happy. I've not made a fool of myself. But then, once you get a hundred, it's like an addiction. You want to get a hundred every time. It's like, 'Oh, I love it. I love getting a hundred. I love raising my bat. I love that little thump on my back when I get back in the change room with everybody.' That is, you know, I mean, it's just unbelievable. It just becomes an addiction. You want a hundred all the time. That's why there is so much, you know, deep gnashing and all that when you miss out on a hundred.
