11 years ago, one of the most destructive batters — Virat Kohli got his first taste of the purest format of the game in a game against West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica. In fact, June 20 will go down as a golden date in the history of Indian cricket as not just for King Kohli but also because Rahul Dravid, and Sourav Ganguly also made their debuts on this very date.

Virat Kohli Made His Test Debut 11 Years Ago On June 20th

Talking about Kohli in particular, on this day 11 years ago, Kohli made his debut for the Indian cricket team in the longest format of the game in a game against West Indies. However, it wasn’t a record-breaking debut as he could only muster up 19 runs in the entire match. Kohli had come out to bat at number 5 in his debut match, but he was dismissed by Fidel Edwards after scoring just four runs. In the second innings, Edwards again dismissed Kohli but this time Kohli managed to score 15 runs.
