Watch: Rohit Sharma sends Virat Kohli back as India teammates give him guard of honour in 100th Test

Captain Rohit Sharma could be seen telling Virat Kohli to walk back after the latter crossed the boundary so that the rest of the team could give him a guard of honour.

Virat Kohli was given a guard of honour by his teammates as he walked out to field for the first time in his 100th Test after the end of the Indian innings on Day 2 of their first match against Sri Lanka in Mohali. However, Kohli had initially entered the ground before the players could form the guard. Videos posted by fans shows Rohit calling Kohli and telling him to walk off the ground so that the players can form the guard.

The team members then formed a parallel line along the boundary rope to honour Kohli's feat as he became the 12th Indian player to record 100 Test appearances.

India finished with 574/8 declared on day 2 with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja scoring a record-breaking unbeaten 175. Kohli too looked in sublime touch in his 76-ball stay where he scored 45 in the first innings before being stunned by left-arm spinner Lassith Embuldeniya on Friday.

Earlier on day 1 of the Test match in Mohali, Kohli was felicitated by present India head coach Rahul Dravid in the presence of his team members and wife Anushka Sharma.

"I want to thank the BCCI and getting my 100th Test cap from one of my childhood heroes is indeed amazing," Kohli said as Dravid presented him with a special cap.

"It is a special moment for me. My wife is here and so is my brother. Everyone is very proud. It is indeed a team game and it couldn't have been possible without you. With the amount we play with three formats and an IPL, the one takeaway the next generation can take from me is that I played 100 games in the purest format," says Kohli.
